Veterinary Surgeon – Hospital Practice – West Yorkshire
Part‑time role | 30‑minute consults | £55K‑£65K FTE | Strong clinical support
The Role
2 weekdays per week plus 1 in 4 weekends
Weekday consulting shifts
- Wednesday: 9:00‑18:00
- Thursday: 9:00‑20:00
Weekend rota
1 in 4 weekends with shifts such as:
- 07:30‑18:00
- 09:30‑20:00
- 10:00‑20:30
The weekday role is primarily consulting focused, with:
- 30‑minute sick pet consultations as standard
- 15‑minute vaccine appointments
- Structured consulting blocks with time for discussion and breaks
- Weekend shifts include ECC work, emergency consults and surgical procedures where required, with the hospital receiving referrals from numerous surrounding practices.
There is very limited sole charge, with multiple vets working per shift alongside a full nursing and management team.
The Practice
This is a large, purpose‑built veterinary hospital including 15 veterinary surgeons and over 20 nurses. The practice combines first opinion and hospital‑level care and is recognised within its wider group as a centre for clinical excellence and innovation.
Leadership and Culture
The leadership team is deeply invested in mentorship, learning and staff well‑being, creating a collaborative and supportive environment where vets are encouraged to develop their interests.
Facilities include:
- 7 consultation rooms including a feline consult and end‑of‑life suite
- 4 operating theatres including a high‑end dental suite
- Digital radiography
- Advanced ultrasound with Doppler
- Visiting CT scanner
- Flexible gastroscope and bronchoscope
- Video otoscopy and rigid endoscopy
- Laparoscopy equipment
- Dental radiography suite
- Full in‑house laboratory and transfusion medicine
- Multiparameter monitoring including ECG, capnography and blood pressure
Clinical Interests
- Ophthalmology
- Dermatology
- Feline medicine
There is scope to develop referral‑style clinics in these areas due to strong referral potential from surrounding practices.
What They’re Looking For
- A confident GP vet
- Comfortable with consulting and inpatient care
- UK experienced and clinically self‑sufficient
- Strong communicator with excellent client‑facing skills
- Collaborative and enthusiastic about clinical discussion
Progression & Development
- Certificate study supported
- Extensive mentorship from multi‑certificate holder team
- Strong in‑house CPD culture
- Opportunities to develop special interests and run clinics
The practice also operates as a teaching and learning centre, supporting students and graduate vets, creating an environment rich in discussion and development.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Hospital‑level facilities and equipment
- Large and supportive clinical team
- 30‑minute consultations allowing proper case workups
- Minimal sole charge
- Opportunity to develop specialist clinics
- Strong mentoring culture
- Excellent nursing support
- Forward‑thinking leadership team
