Vets for Pets
Funding towards certificates Bring your pet to work Supportive team Salary up to £65,000
About us
Halesowen Vets for Pets has been locally owned for over 8 years by practice owners Michelle and Ian who are both highly experienced surgeons, with Michelle already a certificate holder and Ian in the final stages of completion. Our vets are supported by a highly skilled nurse team lead by our Head Nurse who has been with us for over 5 years and a brilliant team of VCAs, receptionists and our Practice Manager (RVN).
The practice
Based in the heart of the community, as a standalone site we see a varied caseload with a high proportion of insured clients. We are exclusively small animals comprising approximately 45% dogs, 40% cats, 10% rabbits, 5% other small fluffies.
Passionate about high quality care, we have all the usual toys plus dental x-ray, laparoscopy, endoscopy, Kyon TPLO equipment, harmonic scalpel and K-laser. Our equipment is all on-site and we aim to keep the majority of our caseload in house, but we are within 45 minutes of a quality referral hospital if needed. We would be keen to develop a candidate’s own interests with certificates encouraged and funded – we have never turned down a request for CPD!
What your day looks like
The clinic is open from 8am-7pm weekdays, 9am-6pm Saturday and we’re not open on Sundays. Our Saturday rota is 1 in 4, sole charge, consulting only. Vets are given one set ops day per week, however a consult only role would be considered.
Our days are scheduled with 15-minute consults with a catch up/break scheduled every 4-5 consults. Leaving on time is prioritised with our last appointment time booked at 6:45pm. The clinic closes and phones are switched over at 7pm with 30mins of protected time after for calls/notes. There is also 15-30mins (depending on shift length) scheduled in the middle of the day for calls, usually immediately post lunch which is a 1-hour break.
Our culture
All our team are very important to us which means sociable dogs are also welcome at work and in the colleague room. We have a fully enclosed colleague car park for toilet breaks and a lovely park a short walk away for lunchtime walkies.
About you
By joining us we’re looking for a vet with solid GP small animal practice experience, a positive vet, with a good sense of humour and a growth mind-set.

- Salary up to £65,000 FTE based on experience.

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
