• Leadership development opportunities in a collaborative environment
• Generous Salary up to £60,000
Are you an experienced vet looking for a role that offers true work-life balance, a supportive and friendly team, and the opportunity to shape the future of a much-loved independent practice?
I am working with a respected small animal clinic located near the scenic Lickey Hills, just south of Birmingham. Established for over 20 years, this independent practice is known for its client-first approach, continuity of care, and strong community ties. With a loyal client base and a reputation for going the extra mile, they’ve created a practice where team wellbeing is just as important as clinical excellence.
What’s on offer:
• Full-time over just 3 days per week (8:30am–7:00pm)
• 2 in 4 Saturday mornings only (8:30am–1:00pm)
• No OOH, no Sundays, no bank holidays
• 20-minute consults, with allocated time for admin, calls, and lunch
• Flexible options available (e.g. 4-day week or 1 in 4 Saturdays)
You’ll be joining a tight-knit, experienced clinical team including 4 RVNs (and recruiting for a 5th), 1 SVN, and a knowledgeable client care team. They are also a nurse training practice, with a genuine commitment to ongoing learning and personal development.
There is real scope to grow into a leadership position, and even future partnership, for someone with the vision and motivation to help shape the next phase of the practice’s journey. You’ll work alongside other experienced vets who value collaboration and clinical freedom. If you have an interest in orthopaedics, there’s support available to develop this further.
The ideal candidate will be:
• Confident in routine first opinion small animal practice
• A team player with excellent communication skills
• Committed to providing personalised, high-quality care
• Interested in leadership or practice development (desirable but not essential)
Why join this team?
This is a practice where people stay—many team members have been part of the clinic for over a decade. Respect, trust, and kindness underpin everything they do, creating a welcoming, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
The team regularly socialises outside of work, and the culture is one of warmth, collaboration, and shared purpose. Whether you’re grabbing a drink on a Friday night or celebrating a team birthday, you’ll feel part of something special.
Location Benefits:
The Lickey Hills are perfect for enjoying the outdoors, offering scenic walks and a variety of dog-friendly trails. For those craving the buzz of city life, central Birmingham is just a 15-minute train ride away, with its vibrant mix of shopping, dining, culture, and nightlife. The city also boasts plenty of green spaces and miles of picturesque canals. There are excellent transport links to the rest of the UK, and Birmingham International Airport is easily reached in under 30 minutes.
If you’re looking for a role that values balance, community, and clinical integrity, I would love to hear from you.
