Job description

The Rota

We are keen to hear from those looking for either full time or part time hours. There is a requirement to take part in the Saturday rota however there is no out of hours! We are more than happy to discuss what hours would work for you. Our vets usually work between their 40 hours over 4 days and our part time vets generally work 30 hours, however, we are happy to discuss working patterns as we understand how important a good work/life balance is.

We also have the added benefit of two neighbouring White Cross Practices, Guiseley and Eccleshill and have the Central Support Team just 20 minutes down the road!
