This is a unique opportunity to be part of a newly launched practice where clinical freedom, high-quality care, and team wellbeing are genuinely prioritised.

This practice has recently opened with the vision of delivering affordable, gold-standard care in a supportive and family-oriented environment. The newly refurbished, modern clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and allows for 20-minute consults to ensure each patient receives the attention they deserve.

Located in Stafford – within easy reach of Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent – the practice offers an ideal balance of city access and rural charm.

Support Structure
You’ll be working alongside a friendly and supportive RVN, with mentorship from an experienced vet already on-site. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys being part of a positive, collaborative, and down-to-earth team.


Who We're Looking For
We’re seeking a genuine, empathetic, and team-oriented Veterinary Surgeon who thrives in a family-feel environment. You'll be given the clinical autonomy to do your best work – and the support to develop and grow your career within the practice.
