Veterinary Surgeon

Animal Trust is coming to Telford  

Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is looking to make a difference?  

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for a skilled and compassionate Veterinary Surgeon to join the Animal Trust Team in a newly acquired clinic in Telford.  

A bit about us: 

Animal Trust is a bit different from other vets. For a start, we’re a Community Interest Company – the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. We’re not about maximising profits; we’re here to do the best we can to deliver on our mission and make enough profit to remain sustainable as a business in the long term. Oh, and did we mention that we recently achieved B Corp status? We’re one of the first vets in Europe – and the largest veterinary group in the world – to be B Corp certified. 
Our vision is that no pet goes untreated or faces euthanasia for a condition that has a good treatment option. We believe having a pet is something that all people should be able to enjoy, but people earning the Real Living Wage sometimes struggle to afford veterinary care when their pet gets sick. Our free consults and straightforward pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need. We’re one community and we are here for our patients, clients and each other. That’s the Animal Trust way of doing things. 

About the clinic: 

Situated a short distance from Telford Town Centre with strong transport connections this clinic has great potential for growth. Being close to our sister clinic in Shrewsbury the opportunity widens to create a great 24hour service for clients in the Telford area, with access to all aspects of veterinary care, day and night.  

Being part of Animal Trust means you are never on your own. We have a wide range of skilled Veterinary Surgeons across the clinics who are always keen to share their knowledge and support development in line with our Values. 

If you want to be a part of making affordable veterinary care more accessible in the Shropshire area, see a varied and exciting caseload, and ready to be a key player in shaping the success of our new venture then we want to hear from you.
