Veterinary Surgeon (Imaging) - West Midlands

Enthusiastic Imaging Veterinary Surgeon with 5+ years’ experience required to join an award winning friendly team, at an accredited veterinary hospital in Dudley and surrounding local branches (on the leafy edge of the West Midlands, but all within 30 mins of Birmingham City centre). This is an independent small animal, first opinion and referral practice with a strong vet team of 15+ including 3 certificate holders, and 1 Cert AVP (Cardiology, Dermatology, Soft tissue/Orthopaedic, and Surgery).

Applicants should have their Certificate in Imaging or be working towards it, be enthusiastic in all aspects of 1^st opinion general practice veterinary care, including emergency care and consulting. There is a high volume of radiology, and ultrasonography with occasional MRI (on a demand basis) supported by a veterinary team. This will give you the ability to develop your own case load and be the master of your own development.

Priding themselves on being family vets for family pets, the practice have constantly pushed the boundaries on delivering the highest pet care through the calibre and qualifications of their Vets and Nurses and through the friendliness and professionalism of the Client Care teams.
