About the Practice
Vets4Pets Brighouse is a busy, growing practice opened in late 2016. Caroline, our senior vet, became Practice Owner in May 2021 and is joined by another experienced vet and a new graduate; the practice aims to team up to three vets. The other owner, Stephanie, also serves as practice manager. The team includes 3 RVNs, 1 SVN, and 4 receptionists.
Caroline is dual‑certificate holder in Surgery and Ophthalmology, enabling advanced surgeries and ophthalmology cases. The practice investigates and treats most cases in‑house, providing advanced procedures not typical of small practices while maintaining a personal service to clients.

Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
