Veterinary Surgeon

Are you a positive vet with a growth mindset? Whatever your experience if this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you! Full and part time hours considered.

About us
Halesowen Vets for Pets has been locally owned for over 8 years by practice owners Michelle and Ian who are both highly experienced surgeons, with Michelle already a certificate holder and Ian in the final stages of completion. Our vets are supported by a highly skilled nurse team lead by our Head Nurse who has been with us for over 5 years and a brilliant team of VCAs, receptionists and our Practice Manager (RVN).

The practice
Based in the heart of the community, as a standalone site we see a varied caseload with a high proportion of insured clients. We are exclusively small animals comprising approximately 45% dogs, 40% cats, 10% rabbits, 5% other small fluffies.

Passionate about high quality care, we have all the usual toys plus dental x-ray, laparoscopy, endoscopy, Kyon TPLO equipment, harmonic scalpel and K-laser. We aim to keep the majority of our caseload in house, but we are within 45 minutes of a quality referral hospital if needed. We would be keen to develop a candidate's own interests with certificates encouraged and
funded.

What your day looks like
The clinic is open from 8am-7pm weekdays, 9am-6pm Saturday and we're not open on Sundays. Our Saturday rota is 1 in 4, sole charge, consulting only. Vets are given one set ops day per week, however a consult only role would be considered.

Our days are scheduled with 15-minute consults with a catch up/break scheduled every 4-5 consults. Leaving on time is prioritised with our last appointment time booked at 6:45pm. The clinic closes and phones are switched over at 7pm with 30mins of protected time after for calls/notes. There is also 15-30mins (depending on shift length) scheduled in the middle of the day for calls, usually immediately post lunch which is a 1-hour break.
