Surgery Information / Job Description
As we say sadly say goodbye to one of team to pursue a specialism zoo medicine, we are now looking for a veterinary surgeon to join our successful practice here at Selly Oaks Vets4Pets.
We offer a variety of benefits including:
• BVA, BSAVA, ISFM & RCVS memberships paid
• Staff discounts and rewards
• Pension scheme
• Competitive salary
• CPD and special interests are encouraged and funded up to certificate level
• Up to £500 to help with relocation if needed
As well as clinical CPD we offer additional non clinical training, from resilience and client communication to Leadership and Finance, for the appropriate person. Particularly those that may be interested in Partnership opportunities, which are available for the right candidate. Selly Oak is close to the Birmingham City Centre and very well connected by road and train giving you access to London in just a couple of hours. You can also be surrounded by lovely countryside within a few minutes car ride. Being close to the University Campus, there is a vibrant community, with loads of cultural activity to enjoy outside work.
We are based on the Battery Retail Park, inside a busy Pets At Home store. The practice is fully equipped giving you access to digital radiography (both general and dedicated dental equipment), ultrasound scan, laboratory equipment, blood pressure monitoring and all the usual toys. Coupling this with a varied caseload from a patient list (with a high proportion of insured pets), made up of dogs, cats, a significant number of rabbits, and other small furries and exotics, this enables us to provide excellent care to a varied caseload. Person Specification You will be joining a friendly and supportive team of 3 other vets, 3 RVNS, 2 SVNS, 1 VCN, 2 receptionists and partners Andre Escudeiro and Gema Fraga. Andre qualified at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Galiza, Spain in 2002 and moved to the UK that same year. He recently obtained a PGCert (SAS) with ISPVS in 2020, with the equivalent PgCert (SAS), Post Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery. We also work closely with our sister practice in Quinton who has a similar size team.
Our ideal new colleague will have good surgical and medical skills and enjoy variety within your role. You should have excellent client skills, be friendly and have a genuine interest in animal welfare.
Team fit is really important to us, and we want you to feel happy coming to work with us each day, so if you’d like to visit us for an informal chat, or speak with any of the team confidentially, we can arrange this.

Locally owned practices with a world of support
At Vets for Pets we’re a network of practices that are owned and managed by the practice owners that run them. Because they’re locally owned, each practice has the freedom to serve patients and clients the way it thinks is best.
But crucially, being locally-owned also means enjoying a truly team-spirited atmosphere. We want all our colleagues to build lasting relationships with practice owners and team members as well as patients and clients.
And because we’re also part of a wider group, you’ll get all the support you need when you need it. That means state-of-the-art facilities, high quality CPD, financial stability and a real sense of job security.
With our framework, we’ve made it simpler and easier for you to help patients and clients live happier, healthier lives together. It’s about making the most of your expertise and bringing this to life in practise while being safe in the knowledge that you’re looked after too. Simply put, we offer locally owned practices with a world of support.

Local Practices
With us, no two practices are the same. We’re deeply rooted in our local communities and we want you to really get to know your patients and clients locally.
Being part of the Pets At Home Group
Being part of Vets for Pets means you’ll be part of our network of locally owned practices. Our practices are located across the country and are owned and run by our Joint Venture Partners (JVPs). Our Joint Venture Partnership model is unique and gives everyone the best of both worlds. Working within one of our practices you’ll get to work with the JVP who has the clinical freedom and autonomy to do things their own way.
