Job description

Overview

Your New Chapter Starts Here

Are you ready to join a team that genuinely enjoys working together - and isn't afraid of a bit of laughter alongside laparoscopies? At Yorkshire Vets we're a close-knit and longstanding team, with a mix of experienced and newer graduated vets and nurses, and we're looking for a passionate Veterinary Surgeon to become part of the family. Certificates can be funded for the right candidate.

Why You'll Love It Here

• No out-of-hours with just 1 in 4 Saturday mornings
• Full-time or part-time shift patterns available
• Up to £70,000 DOE (pro-rata) + up to £5K relocation support
• A flexible approach to CPD, with local certificate holders in ophthalmology, dermatology and small animal surgery - when you join Yorkshire Vets you have access to the network of skilled staff at our six sites throughout Leeds and Bradford

What You'll Be Doing

We are seeking an experienced vet with an interest in consulting, medicine or imaging - or a mixture of the above! You'll be collaborating daily with a supportive team, with space to grow, develop, and shape your ideal role.

Where You'll Be Working

Our main Thornbury RCVS accredited hospital provides the central hub that our other five branches can feed in to, as well as being the host practice for the Bradford VetsNow, meaning our patients can receive 24/7 care on site. Thornbury is fully equipped with laparoscopic kit, ultrasound, dental x-ray, endoscopy, dedicated orthopaedic theatre, and Phovia. Soon to come is dental radiography at our Morley site to increase the quality of care we provide! Our other sites span Armley, Morley, Birkenshaw, Meanwood and Horsforth and all function as self-sufficient standalone sites with recent investment into inhouse blood machines, with the backup of Thornbury for cases that warrant it.

The Team

We have a large but close squad of 20 vets, supported by our experienced nursing and VCA team, admin assistants and receptionists.

The practice is led by three Clinical Directors & a Practice Director, all with their own interests and areas of expertise.

Because our people matter

We recognise that our people are fundamental to the success of our business. Investing in our people, premises and processes is at the heart of what we do. In addition to a competitive base salary, you will benefit from -

• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 confidential helpline
