Enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon with a passion for consulting required to lead one of our award winning friendly branch teams. All branches have the support of our Accredited Veterinary Hospital in Dudley and our other surrounding local branches (On the leafy edge of the West Midlands, but all within 30 mins of Birmingham City centre). We are looking for a candidate with a strong passion for consulting, who is keen to drive business and is looking to enjoy the rewards for their effort via a franchise model rewards package.

We are a small animal, First Opinion and Referral Practice with a strong vet team of 16 including 5 Certificate holders (Cardiology, Soft tissue/Orthopaedic Surgery, Medicine, Dermatology, and Advanced Veterinary Practice).

Priding ourselves on being family vets for family pets, we have constantly pushed the boundaries on delivering the highest pet care through the calibre and qualifications of our Vets and Nurses and through the friendliness and professionalism of our Client Care teams. Big enough to offer award winning care, facilities and expertise for the Black Country's much-loved pets. Small enough to care for client and employees alike treating them as unique individuals - family matters to us.

Twice voted as Best UK Vet by the pet owning public, Vet Wellbeing Award Winners 2018, Highly Acclaimed 2019, Local Chamber of Commerce Workplace Wellbeing winners 2018, Express and Star Best Place to Work 2019, RCVS Outstanding Client Experience Award at all branches, BVRA Receptionist of the Year Winner 2019, Winner of Practice of the Year, and featured on Prime-time TV, joining the Blacks Team places you amongst the best in the industry and at the heart of veterinary excellence.

Where We Are

Whilst Dudley and the West Midlands are not always on the top of every traveller’s wish list (our clients quite rightly disagree…) we have a real gem here – it is a great place to live and work. Clients are easy to get on with and generally very welcoming of new vets.

Apart from a central location with easy motorway access to anywhere in the country, Birmingham (which most people know from BSAVA Congress) is only fifteen minutes away, offering rich culture and night life. All of our surgeries are within fifteen minutes of Green Belt with lots of great villages and pubs in nearby leafy Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire, providing the best of both worlds – vibrant city and beautiful countryside all within a short drive.
