Here at Fivelands Veterinary Centre, we’re excited to be recruiting for a new vet to join our friendly and experienced team based in the vibrant village of Moseley, Birmingham. You’ll primarily be based at our main surgery in Moseley, with some consulting at one of our branch practices.

Here's what the team have to say:
"As a vet student I saw placement on numerous occasions at Fivelands, and knew that it would be a brilliant place to work once I qualified. After qualifying in 2022 I started my first veterinary job at Fivelands, and now 3 years later I am still very happy with the practice and more importantly its wonderful staff members. As a team everyone pulls their weight on those busier days! The team of vets love to discuss ongoing cases, and there is always someone on hand to chat through that unusual case with, or give a second opinion on that set of x-rays you’re not too sure about. We work very well as a team, and across all 3 branches everyone has always been incredibly welcoming and helpful. I appreciate the fact that we as vets have regular clinical meetings to discuss current research and novel approaches, making sure our standard of care is the best it can be. Practice meetings are also prioritised to ensure everyone’s voices are heard. I have always felt incredibly supported at Fivelands by my colleagues and management. It has been a brilliant first practice to work at, and I feel I’m given plenty of opportunities for growth that will encourage me to stay here for years to come." - Cassie, vet
