We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. Whether your passion lies in consulting, surgery or medicine, we’ll support you and shape a caseload that plays to your strengths.

Midland Veterinary Surgery is a friendly first-opinion 4.5 vet practice, supported by a dedicated nurse training programme and a welcoming reception team. We’re proud of our collaborative, close-knit environment where everyone plays a vital role.

Leadership That Listens and Supports

With an open-door policy, they actively encourage ideas to improve clinical standards, patient care, client experience and team education.

Quality Care Without Compromise

We believe in working with clients to find the best solutions for their pets, whatever the budget. Our team is supported to develop through tailored CPD, in-house learning, externships at larger practices within the group, and access to an external surgeon and ultrasonographer for more complex cases.
