The new leadership team within Wirral are keen to accept applications for a Veterinary Surgeon to join them! We can offer you the opportunity to build a caseload that suits your clinical interests. We have a range of demographics forming our growing client base, with many insured clients or just those wanting the best for their pets, allowing comprehensive medical workups and extensive soft tissue & orthopaedic surgeries. We also work closely with a local RSPCA and undertake a significant volume of work, primarily on cats, as well as 'case animals' for RSPCA inspectors.
Work life balance that works for you
Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours truly tips the scale on your work life balance. We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance.

However, as mentioned above we can offer flexibility to create a role that works around your lifestyle. Ideally, we’re looking for a candidate to work between our Upton and Seaview sites. However, we can accommodate for candidates to be based at one site exclusively if preferred.

We are a progressive practice that never sits still! We actively encourage our staff to pursue their own clinical interests.

Here’s what the team have to say
“I started working at Wirral Vets as a new graduate 7 years ago and I've been here so long that I'm now in the position of lead vet! I really appreciate my supportive team of nurses, the good number of surgical cases and also the work we do with local charities. We are a close knit team who really support one another and try to enjoy our days in work as much as we can. We are always striving to better ourselves and the practice and we look forward to welcoming new team members who share the same team spirit and work ethic.” – Katherine, Senior Vet
