Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

Salary up to £65,000 DOE plus relocation allowance up to £5,000

We are looking for a full time Veterinary Surgeon to join our wonderful team here at White Cross Vets, Kings Heath.

The Team

We are a large friendly team made up of 1 clinic director, 6 VS's, 1 Head RVN, 10 RVNs, 2 VCAs, and 4 CCC's. We also have certificate holders within the practice: 1 imaging, 1 internal medicine and 1 surgery. One of the vets is currently in the process of obtaining a certificate in feline medicine.

We love to encourage those who are looking to learn and develop their skills. Outside of work we have regular practice socials and hold once a month wellbeing afternoon, where the team come together. Previous afternoons have included practice olympics, jigsaw puzzles, video games and painting.

We also have regular individual team and whole practice meetings. This is also followed up with a weekly team newsletter so that all staff are aware of what is happening in the practice.

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK's number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Practice Highlights

The practice is based in Kings Heath in Birmingham, a short distance from Birmingham city centre. Kings Heath and Moseley village (2 minutes away) are both full of independent restaurants and some very nice bars and pubs! There are buses every 5-10 minutes that pass the practice, and the closest train station is around a 10-minute drive away in Kings Norton. From Autumn 2025, there will be a direct train from Birmingham city centre to Kings Heath.

Within the practice, we have in-house laboratory services, a large prep and theatre area and diagnostics including x-ray (standing and dental), endoscopy and ultrasound.

We have a large waiting area, with separate areas for cats, dogs and rabbits, as well as a screened-off area for anxious or reactive dogs.

The senior team are happy to support further professional development.

Here's what Emily had to say about life at White Cross

"Working at White Cross Vets Kings Heath is a great place to work; we are a supportive and friendly team who hold our patient care as a priority and strive to improve. We are a large team, with a busy caseload and so to balance this we love to take time out from the busy day during our wellbeing sessions to spend time together and enjoy a laugh. We are also partial to the odd jigsaw and slice of cake! "- Emily Moss, Clinical Director
