A well-established, multi-disciplinary veterinary hospital in the West Yorkshire area is looking to welcome a Veterinary Surgeon to their first-opinion day team. This hospital operates with a collaborative approach, managing both general and referral cases under one roof — providing a seamless and gold-standard level of care to every patient.

THE TEAM: 
The hospital is home to a large, supportive team including 15 Veterinary Surgeons, 24 RVNs, 3 SVNs, 5 Animal Care Assistants, and an experienced non-clinical support crew. It’s a genuinely team-led environment with a strong emphasis on continuity, communication, and high standards.

THE ROLE
This is a weekend-only position, ideal for vets seeking flexibility or additional hours alongside other commitments. The team is open to hearing from both newly qualified and experienced vets. You’ll manage a range of first-opinion cases, with the opportunity to work cases up to a high standard and collaborate with colleagues across the wider team.

Vets should be confident with routine surgery and medicine, and comfortable working in a busy hospital setting. If you're looking for more hours, the team is happy to explore additional shifts across the week.

WHAT’S ON OFFER

  • Competitive salary depending on experience
  • Generous CPD allowance and support for development
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
  • Friendly and highly skilled team with access to referral support on site

Whether you’re newly qualified or looking to step back into a clinical role with weekend-only flexibility, this is a great opportunity to work in a progressive, well-equipped hospital setting.
