Veterinary Surgeon required at Gladstone Vets

The Role

Gladstone Vets have an excellent opportunity for a veterinary surgeon. 

We understand the pressures and importance of a healthy work-life balance and recognising this is different for everyone, is one of the reasons why we aren’t stipulating required hours and shifts. 

You won’t be required to work any out-of-hours as we have a dedicated emergency team based out of our clinic. 

We welcome a discussion on what working hours will work best for everyone! 

A Happy, Energised Team = Excellent Patient and Client Care

About us

We are a progressive veterinary clinic with a strong community presence, always aiming to provide the very best of the team, client and patient care. 

We have a great caseload exposing you to the most routine of cases whilst also providing ample opportunity to support and get involved with the many mid-tier referral cases we receive from surrounding practices, particularly abdominal and cardiac diagnostic imaging. 

The Team

We are a multi-vet team, 2 working towards their Advanced Practitioner Status in Diagnostic Imaging and Surgery, both are also great mentors and very keen to support somebody who might just be starting out in their vet career or somebody looking for that next exciting move and want to continue or start studying towards a certificate themselves. 

Our vets are supported by our superb clinical and support team and are treated to a Pizza lunch at least every month. 

We are based in Hadley, Telford, with excellent rail links and the M54 motorway close by. We are very near the town centre (many restaurants and gym) all within a 5-minute drive and so lucky to have local walks and countryside on our doorstep. 

Our practice has all the usual toys you should expect including digital x-ray, ultrasound, extensive lab suite, dental and multiple rigid and flexible scopes.

We will offer a relocation allowance for the right person and sponsorship if this is required.
