Are you looking for a place where you can spread your wings, flourish and feel confident, knowing you are fully supported…

Here at Shepherds’ Vet Centre we are a friendly, independent, family-run practice in Worcestershire. Ours practice is committed to providing a supportive environment for all our staff. We can offer our team's expertise and a varied caseload. We will absolutely support you in following any areas of interest and developing your skills.

We have a strong clinical team currently of 4 day vets and 1 night vet, 5 RVNs, 2 SVNs and 3 VCAs , with a range of experience between 6 and 30 years, and a brilliant admin/reception team who keep everything running smoothly. Everyone is really supportive and we always try to help each other.

We are proud to be one of the first UK practices to achieve dog-friendly status from the Dogs Trust/BVBA Dog-Friendly Clinic scheme, having already been a fear-free accredited practice. We also have Gold ISFM cat-friendly status, are officially rabbit-friendly with Silver RWAF status, and are an RCVS-accredited practice.

Our purpose-built premises and facilities enable us to provide a high standard of care, with separate dog and cat wards, 4 consulting rooms, digital x-ray including dental x-ray, high-quality ultrasound with Doppler, in-house lab, endoscope, optic loop, Tonovet pen, cautery, and laser therapy.

We are looking for a small animal vet with experience to join our team. Our vets work a 4 day week, 2 x 9-7pm and 2 x 9-5pm and a 1:4 share of the Saturday morning consults between 9 am -12.30 pm. We are also delighted to consider other part-time work to suit you too. There are no routine OOHs with this role; however, if you are interested in emergency care, we would be happy to discuss you joining the OOHs rota if this is something you would like.

Our days are structured so two vets are consulting, one vet is operating, and one vet looks after medical cases and inpatients and helps with the ops or in prep room as needed. Everybody has designated operating days at least once or twice a week, and time is built in for the more complex cases where you might want a second pair of hands scrubbed in.
