Whether your ambition is to grow into a senior role, work towards a certificate, or develop a specialist interest, we'll work with you to build a career journey tailored around your goals. At Hemsworth Vets for Pets, we're offering a truly unique opportunity for a vet who wants more than "just another job."

Here, your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your growth is always supported.

About Us

Our standalone practice is one of a kind-it's based in a converted fire station, giving us a bright, spacious, and modern environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. From the latest diagnostic tools to the space to work up cases locally, we provide everything you need to deliver excellent care.

Over the years, we've built a loyal and supportive client base, and with our growing practice, the potential for further development is huge. You'll be joining a team that's passionate about gold-standard care, teamwork, and making a real difference to the pets and people of our community.

Location

Hemsworth is a bustling market town with excellent transport links. The practice is just a short walk from the bus station, offering routes across Barnsley, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Doncaster. With the M1 and A1 close by, we're easily connected to the cities of Leeds, Sheffield, and even Manchester-perfect if you enjoy the energy of city life.

For your downtime, the area has plenty to offer. You could explore Nostell Priory, enjoy outdoor adventures at Hemsworth Water Park, or simply take in the Yorkshire countryside. Whether you prefer peaceful walks, family activities, or buzzing nightlife, you'll find something here to suit you.

The Role

This position is fully flexible:

• Full-time (40 hours)
• Part-time (minimum 24 hours)
• Flexible scheduling to support your lifestyle

Weekends are shared fairly across the team, and there are no out-of-hours, so you can enjoy a healthy work-life balance.

We're looking for a vet with:

• Small animal experience gained in general practice
• Confidence with sole charge when required
• Strong communication and people skills
• A collaborative approach and passion for gold-standard patient care

In return, we'll provide the support and opportunities to help you shape your own future. If you want to pursue a certificate or postgraduate qualification, we'll encourage and fund that. If you have ideas to improve the practice or expand services, we'll listen. At Hemsworth Vets for Pets, your development matters to us.

What's on Offer

Alongside a competitive salary of up to £80,000 (DOE) and a £5,000 welcome/relocation bonus, we offer a fantastic benefits package, including:

• Fully flexible working patterns
• Generous CPD allowance and certificate support
• Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, plus one other of your choice)
• Pension scheme & private healthcare
• Exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (including up to 30% off at Pets at Home and The Groom Room)
• Excellent career progression within a supportive, national network
• Relocation packages (UK or overseas) + visa sponsorship (A+ rated sponsor)

Why Join Us?

This isn't a "one-size-fits-all" job. At Hemsworth Vets for Pets, you'll have the independence of a local practice with the backing of a successful, stable group. You'll be part of a friendly, supportive team, working in a unique practice setting, with the flexibility and opportunities to make your career exactly what you want it to be.
