Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to come and join our friendly team at Lichfield Vets for Pets. You'll be joining a tight-knit team made up of 1 Nurse, 1 VCA, and 2 Receptionists that actively support one another and enjoy each other's company.

We want you to enjoy coming to work, but we know life can be hard sometimes, and our practice is a safe space to share thoughts and problems and to try and help pick one another up. We can't wait to welcome a vet into our team who shares our values and is passionate about being at the heart of our local community.

We're looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to work 40 hours per week Monday - Friday. This involves sole charge working.

You will be a key member of the team and ideally with a good general surgical and medical background; however, we are open to discussing opportunities with the right candidate.

As you would expect from the market leader in small animal veterinary care, we offer excellent career development opportunities, a first-rate package, and great benefits that include:

1. A competitive salary of up to £60,000 which is open to discussion based on experience.
2. 28 days Annual Leave including bank holidays.
3. £5000 welcome bonus.
4. Funded CPD and time off.
5. Studying for certificates is encouraged.
6. Contributory pension scheme.
7. Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, BVA).
8. Exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home, and the Vet Group.

If you share our passion for delivering outstanding pet healthcare and exceptional customer service, and would like to join our team, then we would love to hear from you.

We are an Equal Opportunities Employer.
