Veterinary Surgeon

Job Description

If you’re an experienced vet who has ambition to develop further, and would like a unique career path built specifically for you, then we have the role for you here at Hemsworth Vets4Pets!

We can offer you the opportunity to thrive in an independent practice environment, where your career aspirations can be brought to life with ample support. We will help you with any specific interests you have and develop your skills in a direction of your choosing. So, if you want to pursue a post graduate qualification or certificate, we’re happy to help support that. 

Your working environment will be just as unique, as our standalone practice is a converted fire station! This gives us so much more space to provide the latest state of the art equipment and mod-cons, and deliver the highest clinical standards to our patients. We already have a loyal client base with the potential for further growth, and cases can be worked up locally. Our experienced team is made up of our full time Lead Vet with a team of 4 RVNs, 1 VCA and 1 SVN.

Hemsworth Vets4Pets has nearby bus stops and the larger bus station is a short walk through the market town, providing excellent links as far afield as Barnsley, Wakefield, Pontefract and Doncaster. Conveniently located close to the M1 and A1, it also gives you easy access to the bustling cities of Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield. 

The area has several interesting attractions such as Nostell Priory, a Georgian house steeped in history including a globally-renowned dolls' house alongside a wealth of mastercrafts including decorative interiors. Nostell's 300 acres of gardens and parkland include wildflower meadows, rippling lakes and majestic woodland – the ideal spot for your days off.

Hemsworth water park has two lakes; one offers pedalo rides and has a man-made sandy beach; whilst the smaller lake is in a more secluded area to attract wildlife. This makes it the perfect location for enjoying outdoor adventures or city nightlife outside of work, and we work hard to ensure our team maintain a good work/life balance to make the most of this.

This position can be fully flexible hours, full or part time with a minimum of 24 hours, ideally with weekends on a fair rota basis, shared with the rest of the team. 

We’re always open to new ideas that will drive us forward, so we’re looking for a vet who will bring energy to push our growth, with the support and guidance of an experienced industry network, your voice is always heard at Hemsworth Vets4Pets. You should have small animal experience gained as a general practitioner, and great people skills. You will be comfortable with sole charge but will also relish being part of a team.

As standard, in addition to a salary of up to £65,000 FTE + £5,000 welcome/relocation bonus, we offer all the benefits you’d expect from a major employer (pension, healthcare, paid memberships etc.) plus a few more, such as excellent career progression and exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 30% off at Pets at Home). We’re also happy to provide relocation packages from within or outside the UK, including visa sponsorship if needed (we’re an A+ rated sponsor).
