First‑opinion vet role in Staffordshire with a balanced rota, modern facilities, no OOH, and strong support for clinical development and career growth.

Who They Are

This is a long‑established, RCVS‑accredited small animal practice based across two sites in Staffordshire, serving the local community for more than 30 years. Both practices operate from recently renovated, spacious premises equipped to deliver modern first‑opinion care.

Facilities include two linked theatres, digital radiography, in‑house laboratory equipment, ultrasound, a vista scanner, and dental radiography. Both locations hold cat‑friendly accreditation, along with additional welfare and environmental awards, and operate under strong clinical governance with a focus on patient comfort and continuity of care.
