About the Role
This charity hospital in Wolverhampton is looking for qualified veterinary surgeons who thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy a wide variety of medical and surgical cases.

The role requires confidence in communicating with a diverse range of colleagues and clients, along with a willingness to share knowledge and lead by example.

About the Hospital
The veterinary teams at the charity hospital in Wolverhampton have varied clinical interests, allowing for a collaborative environment where cases and treatment plans can be discussed and shared.
