About us:

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate Veterinary Surgeon to join our wonderful team here at Brighouse. This role would suit someone of at least 2 years experience who is really wanting to progress in their career and further develop their interests.

Vets4Pets Brighouse is a busy, growing practice that has been opened since late 2016.

Caroline has a certificate in surgery and performs several advanced procedures - soft tissue and orthopaedics. She is also working towards a certificate in ophthalmology. We also investigate and treat the majority of our medical cases in-house to give our patients the very best level of care. This is what makes us unique - we provide a personal service to our clients as we are a small, close-knit team, but we can offer advanced procedures that many other small practices cannot.

Brighouse is a vibrant market town, located on the River Calder and within the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale in West Yorkshire. Brighouse is conveniently placed just four miles east of Halifax and 12 miles south-west of Leeds city centre. A huge bonus to commuters living in Brighouse are the direct and indirect trains regularly running down to London and back.
