Job description

Here at Rosewood Vets, we're looking for a veterinary surgeon to work across two of our branches, Rosewood Vets near Wolverhampton, and Blackheath Vets near Halesowen. You will be a proactive individual who is able and willing to contribute your ideas and skills across the practice to build on the fantastic team and offering we have here. You will have a mix of consults and surgery, so you have the best of both worlds. We strongly encourage career development so if you wish to pursue a specialism or certificate, we would be delighted to discuss this with you.

We're keen to offer relocation allowance of £5000 for those that require it, as well as a welcome bonus of up to £5000 (pro rata).
