Experienced Vet – Step into Leadership | Bridlington, East Yorkshire | Up to £85,000 + Benefits + Relocation

We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for an experienced small animal vet to join a purpose-built practice in the scenic coastal town of Bridlington.

This role is perfect for someone ready to step into a leadership position—whether you're looking for a fresh challenge or the next stage in your career. You'll play a key role in shaping the future of the practice, working closely with the Practice Manager and supported by a highly experienced regional team. It's a chance to lead by example, inspire the team, and make a real impact.

The practice is proud to be a hub of the local community and places just as much importance on creating a working environment that supports its team. No OOH, closed on Sundays, and a flexible approach to rota patterns means a healthy work-life balance is genuinely prioritised.

We’re looking for someone confident with sole charge, who thrives in a close-knit team. With a loyal and growing client base, you'll enjoy a diverse and interesting caseload—no two days are ever the same.

Why Bridlington?
This charming East Yorkshire town offers golden beaches, affordable housing, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. With great schools, strong transport links to Hull, York, and Scarborough, and beautiful nearby countryside like the Yorkshire Wolds and North York Moors, it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys beach walks, hiking, or just a more relaxed pace of life.

The Practice:
Less than a mile from the seafront and close to the train station, this Gold ISFM cat-friendly and Silver RWAF-accredited clinic is fully equipped for a busy general practice. You'll find everything you’d expect to support a high standard of care.

What’s on offer:

  • Salary up to £85,000 DOE
  • £5,000 relocation allowance
  • Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, etc.)
  • CPD allowance + support towards certification
  • Private health care & income protection
  • Supportive team culture with development opportunities
  • And more!
