Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

Here at Fivelands Veterinary Centre, we’re excited to be recruiting for a new vet to join our friendly and experienced team based in the vibrant village of Moseley, Birmingham. You’ll primarily be based at our main surgery in Moseley, with some consulting at one of our branch practices. The role will offer a well-balanced caseload between medicine & surgery, and we can tailor the caseload to your own clinical interests as best we can.

We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Ideally, we’re looking for someone to work on a part‑time basis, covering up to 25 hours per week. Days of work will be Thursdays, Fridays and 1:9 Saturdays. However, as mentioned above, we’re happy to support flexible working hours.

Our fantastic group is composed of practices in Moseley, Yardley and Hall Green. We’re an ISFM Silver Cat Friendly practice with a strong team ethos and a commitment to clinical excellence. Our facilities include DR digital x‑ray, dental x‑ray, flexible & rigid endoscopes, class IV companion laser, Idexx lab equipment, new ultrasound machine and much more! We also offer in‑house specialist ultrasonography via Virtual Veterinary Specialists and follow the IVC Care Framework to ensure the highest standards of care.

Our team is made up of 9 vets (including certificate holders in dentistry and feline medicine), 9 RVNs, 2 SVNs and 2 VCAs, along with our first‑class support team!

“I joined Fivelands in June 2026 as a veterinary surgeon, having first come here as a student on placement. I was immediately impressed by the supportive team, the variety of cases, and the high standard of care. Since joining the team, I’ve significantly developed my clinical skills in both surgery and medicine. As a new graduate, I’ve benefited from fantastic support and guidance, due to good continuity of my own cases, which has been invaluable in building my confidence and experience”.

– Dr, Sowl.
