About us

Carmel Veterinary Centre is an RCVS Tier 2 accredited, VNTP, two-site small animal practice based in Wolverhampton. We’re kitted out with endoscopy, ultrasound, dental X-rays, full Idexx labs as well orthopaedic kit. We care about our team, patients and clients in that order because we understand that unless you are at your best, the patient care and client experience won’t be the best. Using Vetled initiatives and building on our friendly and supportive foundation, we have developed a strong culture of “civility”. We are looking for a candidate with exceptional interpersonal skills and a core mindset of kindness and respect. What makes us special, I believe, is our collective dedication to innovation and collaboration. Everyone brings unique skills and interests to the table, and we're always eager to support each other's growth. It's a truly collaborative environment where ideas are welcomed.
