Hillman Vets, part of the inspiring vet care network, is recruiting! 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.

Here at Hillman Vets, it's been an exciting period of growth following the acquisition of Lydon & Scott Vets into our family. As a result of this growth, we're looking for a permanent Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at the Lydon branch. The role offers a well-balanced caseload of both surgery and medicine. The position will be based primarily at the Lydon site, although there will occasionally be a requirement to provide cover at our Scott (Great Barr) branch.

Ideally, we're looking for a candidate to work full time, covering 40 hours per week over 4 days. There's also 1:5 Saturday mornings (09:00 - 12:30). No out of hours or on call required.

Our practice is fully equipped with the modern facilities you'd expect, including digital X-ray (including SignalPET AI-assisted interpretation), ultrasound, an IM3 dental machine, and an in-house laboratory, to name just a few. You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team consisting of 1.5 vets, 2 RVNs, and 1 receptionist.

The team is welcoming, knowledgeable, and always focused on delivering the best possible care to our patients and clients. I have learned a great deal during my time here and continue to enjoy working in such a positive and supportive environment.'
