Due to the relocation of one of our senior vets, a rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced small animal veterinary surgeon to join our award-winning team at Emersons Green Veterinary Surgery. We are seeking a dedicated and motivated individual who is keen to be involved in all aspects of veterinary practice including senior decision making. While a certificate holder or someone with a keen interest in medicine would be fantastic, this is not essential.

At EGVS, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional veterinary care and fostering a supportive, family-like atmosphere. Our practice has been recognised with multiple prestigious awards, including Petplan Practice of the Year, Vet of the Year, and Veterinary Practice Design awards. Despite these accolades, we have maintained our close-knit, family-run feel, with both founding directors still actively involved in the practice.
