Would you like to work for a veterinary practice which offers something different?

Are you an experienced Small Animal Vet? Want a first opinion role with no OOH, great support and work/life balance?

No OOH! 4-day working week, competitive salary DOE, dedicated admin time every day, 15 minute consults, great support staff and a huge range of in house certificate holders and expertise.

Due to our wide range of expertise and facilities, we are a busy proactive group and pride ourselves on the service we are able to provide. You will be supported by an admin team across Severn Edge, but also in branch by receptionists, patient care assistants, and nurses.

Our practice is set in the Wyre Forest District in Worcestershire on the banks of the River Severn, with beautiful countryside, walks, canoeing but just 22 miles from Birmingham. Bewdley is also well known for its history, the Severn Valley Railway and has a distinguished music scene holding many local festivals.

Our rota allows good work-life balance with a 4-day week plus 1 in 3 Saturday mornings, but no OOH! Although we are looking to fill this position with a full time Vet, we are open to part-time applicants too.

• Mental Health first aiders. Our people are at the heart of what we do and your health & wellbeing matters!
• Maternity / Adoption Pay – 10 weeks full pay and 10 weeks half pay.
• Paternity Pay and Shared Parental Leave.
• Cycle to work scheme, saving 25-39% on a bike and accessories!
• Discounted pet treatments.
• Health cash plan – save money on everyday health care.
• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 365 days a year helpline to support you and your immediate family when you need it the most.
• Discounted UK gym membership with Gym Flex.
• Performance bonus scheme.
• Save as you Earn Scheme (SAYE).
• Internal career progression and transfers available – with a network of over 500 practices, we can support you should you need to relocate.

CVS is committed to being a fully inclusive place to work where all our colleagues are encouraged and supported to be themselves, where difference is celebrated and where everyone feels able to deliver their best. We are also determined to build a workforce that is more representative of our diverse communities and the people we provide our services to.
