We are delighted to now be accepting applications from experienced Neurologist clinicians who are interested in joining our team at Blaise Veterinary Referral Centre, a multi-disciplinary referral hospital which encompasses the culture and high clinical standards IVC prides itself upon.
We are seeking a specialist on a part-time basis, working for 2-3 weeks per month.
Building the foundations of a sustainable career
At IVC Evidensia, we have over 100 referral sites that have joined our UK & Ireland network over the years. Longbridge is a first from us, where we are building from the foundations up, creating a unique opportunity to be a part of something special from the very beginning. Sustainability has been a key priority for us, and we have included several green and wellbeing initiatives in the hospital in line with our Positive Pawprint strategy across the group.
The hospital is one of the largest in the UK at over 36,000 sq ft, with the capacity to treat up to 10,000 pets per year. From the site we provide specialist led multi-discipline veterinary referrals and a 24-hour emergency care service for pet owners across the Midlands. The site has easy access from the A38 through Longbridge and is part of the West Longbridge regeneration project.
Join us on our journey
A multi-disciplinary referral hospital needs a strong team of clinicians. Naturally, you’ll work closely with your team ensuring the best clinical outcomes possible. Being part of a new team brings additional exciting challenges too — you’ll have the opportunity to develop the services we offer, as well as being responsible for driving referrals in your area of expertise.
With Blaise, you’ll be there at the very start of our journey — where together we’ll shape an exciting future for both our veterinary centre, and the careers of the people within it. Regardless of your role, each and every member of our team will play an essential part of delivering outstanding care to animals and their owners.
