Here's what the team have to say
"I started at Island Vets in 2013 after being in the profession for 30 years I felt I wanted to settle down in a practice that had a local community and a team environment.
I have been at Island for 11 years and in that time, I have taken on several roles and developed a close relationship with our clients and felt part of a work family for all that time. The past 8 years I have held the position of branch manager at the Wombourne and Gornal practice and I have always felt fully supported in my progression and could not imagine working anywhere else. Work life balance is very high on our priority list at Island, and we promote this and accommodate this wherever possible."- Sarah, Branch Manager
