Job description

There’s never been a better time to join the St George’s family! We offer candidates the opportunity to create a role that truly fits your personal needs - whether it’s location, working hours, or caseload. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you! We’re able to offer sponsorship for candidates that require this support, and we can even offer a relocation allowance of up to £5000 for candidates that are moving from further afield. If you’re based in the Wolverhampton or Birmingham areas, we’d love to meet you for a chat to see what we can offer you.

We care about your work/life balance

We offer flexible working patterns that flex work to fit in with you and your lifestyle. Whether you are looking to flex your rota hours to balance the school holidays, fix to navigate the school runs or just looking to strike that balance between home and work life. We can offer flexibility that actually works for you. A typical full time role would require to you work 40 hours across 4 weekdays, with a shared Saturday rota. There’s no out of hours or on call required for any of our sites.

Where could you be based?

St George’s has recently gone through an exciting period of growth, incorporating Carmel Vets into our brand! Our group now consists of nine individual sites, each with its own unique features. These include: the Wolverhampton consulting site, Albrighton, Bushbury, Halesowen, Perton, Sedgley, St George’s Vet Hospital (Wolverhampton), Fallings Park, and Penn Fields. We’re fortunate to be able to consider roles based at, or between any of our sites.

About us

Our sites offer excellent connectivity across the country. For example, the Halesowen practice is just 10 minutes from M5 Junction 3 and is easily accessible from Wolverhampton, Dudley, Birmingham, and Kidderminster. Birmingham Airport is only a 40-minute drive away. We are equipped with all the tools you’d expect from a modern practice, including operating theatres, Idexx labs, ultrasound, dental X-ray, a CT scanner, digital X-ray, digital microscope, endoscope, laparoscopic kit, and much more! Our greatest strength lies in our high-caliber team, made up of certificate holders and advanced practitioners, supported by skilled nursing staff and dedicated support teams.
