We have an exciting opening for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly team at White Cross Tividale in the West Midlands.

Rota patterns that work for you

The role is for 20 hours per week. There is currently no weekend rota or out-of-hours requirement for this role, but we would require the successful candidate to participate in evening shifts.

About the team

The team and working environment are very important to us at Tividale and we are looking for someone to join us who shares that same ethos. We are a close-knit, team who really enjoy working together. We currently have 3 Veterinary Surgeons, 4 Registered Veterinary Nurses and 4 Client Care Coordinators.

The wellbeing of our teams is very important. We make time during working hours each month for our team to spend time with one another in wellbeing sessions. We like to celebrate personal wins and reward our people. Your colleague may have had a tough week so we may suggest a wellbeing day, another may have gone above and beyond, so we send them a treat. Every team member also has 5 nominations called ‘Lolas’ per month to give recognition to colleagues. These add up over the year and rewards are given accordingly.

Here’s what Gemma had to say about life at Tividale:

" I started working for White Cross Vets in April 2013, when the practice opened. We're a lovely small team who all work closely together. I particularly enjoy nurse consults, and this is my area of focus. Throughout my time at White Cross, I enjoy our monthly wellness sessions and as a team we keep each other stocked up on tea/ coffee and snacks." – Gemma Ward, Registered Veterinary Nurse.

About the practice

We opened in 2013 and are a small animal only practice. We are equipped with a great quality ultrasound machine, multi-parameter monitoring and digital x-ray (including dental). We have achieved our silver cat-friendly status. The prep area is the heart of the building with separate dog and cat wards, an operating theatre and x-ray/ultrasound room branching off. There are 3 consulting rooms with access to dispensary and our lab area is complete with the full IDEXX Blood and Urinary machine range and microscope. We have a separate team room with comfy sofas so you can relax on your breaks.
