Located in the heart of historic Bewdley, our practice benefits from a fantastic location just moments from the River Severn, offering the perfect blend of rewarding clinical work and an enviable lifestyle outside of practice.

This is a sole charge position, ideal for a Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys clinical freedom and taking ownership of their cases.

Our practice is well-equipped with modern diagnostic facilities including:

You’ll enjoy managing a varied first-opinion caseload while being supported by the extensive expertise available across the wider Severn Edge Veterinary Group.
