Applicant Requirements

As a Senior Veterinary position, this role requires sufficient GP experience. Your own car/driving licence is essential as travel is required to Birmingham Dogs Home sites and occasionally to other St George's (SGV) surgeries. You should have a commercial interest/acumen to ensure that all arrangements meet the needs of both the client and SGV. We are also looking for a well organised individual with excellent, confident communication skills – both verbal and written. They will be required to deal with clients and staff of all levels, at our large client sites so you will need to display high levels of professional behaviour, as a representative for our practice and brand. As this is a senior role, this position would be equally suitable for someone who may wish to develop into CD roles in the future or just has a strong interest in supporting our charity clients and the work they do.
