Job Details

Northallerton Vets4Pets have a great opportunity for a small animal vet to join their friendly, supportive team on a full or part time basis.

- Salary of £40k - £60k (FTE)
- Relocation package
- Full or part-time hours available to fit around your commitments


- Opportunity to undertake management training.
- Lovely client base in a beautiful part of North Yorkshire


Our friendly, cheerful little team provides a great work environment, where work life balance is a priority. We like to have fun!

I love my job. The team are enthusiastic and progressive, the clinic is clean and well organised, our clients are lovely and our case load is managed so we have time to spend with clients without them feeling rushed. Of course there are occasional days when the fan has been hit but we support each other to getteam through them and our JVP's are always on hand making sure we are all coping. We see a full range of cases and have visiting specialists to support those cases requiring further surgery/imaging that we are unable to perform ourselves. There are nearby referral hospitals meaning our clients can access most specialists within half an hour of the practice. CPD is actively encouraged and both the JVP's are totally supportive of everything we do. The team work well together and discuss cases, new ideas and clinical problems openly and constructively. I feel very privileged to be able to tell people "I love my job" . Catriona MRCVS

We are now looking for an additional veterinary surgeon as our client base grows making this a fantastic opportunity for a vet looking for flexible full or part time hours.

We are hugely supportive of one another and take pride in the strong relationships we have built with each other and our clients. Led by our partners Kirsty and Kelly, you will be joining a really lovely team of 2 vets who have over 30 years' experience between them, 1 Head Nurse, 1 RVN, 1 Practice Manager (MHFA), 1 Animal Care Assistant and 2 Client Care Advisors. We are an honest and enthusiastic team and are looking for someone who shares the same values as us.

Coming to join the team at Vets4Pets Northallerton has been a real game changer for me. The family feel of the practice and support provided by Kelly (the clinical partner) and Kirsty (practice manager and partner) has allowed my confidence to flourish. Within the first month I felt fully settled and able to grow in my clinical and interpersonal skills. The practice has a healthy flow of medical and surgical case work, as well as a few bizarre cases that provide some interesting challenges. We also have a really wonderful client base, which makes those tough days feel worthwhile. There is a culture of open discussion between the clinical team, and a drive to ensure we are always providing excellent patient and client care . Sophie, MRCVS

We understand that days in practice don't always go as planned so in addition to setting aside time for our vets to take breaks, complete admin and giving appropriate time to work up cases we are also open to re-arranging the daily diary if needed. This also means we rarely leave late. We are always looking for ways to best support our team and currently have a practice WhatsApp. There is clinical support from an external company if needed for imaging, and more specifically ultrasound. We also have close relationships with nearby referral centres who are always happy to lend advice on cases as well. In addition, our non-clinical team take responsibility for any insurance or finance related queries leaving the vets to concentrate on their clinical work. We have also just started offering management training should this be of interest to you.

While our day to day is a mix of surgeries and consult's we are happy to discuss any bias you may have towards either of these. We can offer both full or part time hours and want to make sure your rota works around your commitments whether you need to work certain days, shorter or longer shifts, or a specific pattern, we can accommodate this. The role will include some sole charge and we would like our new vet to be part of our weekend rota which will be discussed at interview and includes Saturdays only. You will get time back in the week after working a weekend. Most important to us is our new team member is friendly, approachable, compassionate, and able to build strong bonds with our clients and pets.

We are based on a busy main route of Northallerton with free onsite parking and just a 20-minute walk from the train station where you can catch a direct train to major cities including London. Our practice is purpose-built with separate dog and cat wards. We are lucky to have a genuinely lovely client base and work closely with our local RSPCA and Cats Protection League both providing veterinary care and fundraising.

In return of your dedication and high-quality work, we can offer:
• Salary of £40 - £60k (DOE)
• AXA private health insurance
• Relocation package
• Fully funded visa sponsorship
• Excellent career development opportunities
• No OOH
• Generous CPD allowance and support provided
• Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, etc.)
• Cycle to work
• Free onsite parking
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards including 25% off at Vets4Pets and 20% off at Pets at Home and the Groom Room
• Colleague discount on our Care Plans

If this sounds like the role for you and you share our passion for delivering outstanding pet healthcare and great customer service. If you would like to know more or apply please e-mail our partner and practice manager Kirsty - Kirsty.Challis@vets4pets.com You can also apply through our careers site: https://www.vets4petscareers.com/job-vacancies/veterinary-surgeon---northallerton-vets4pets/

If successful, you will be invited to an initial interview in practice or via teams. We can then look at arranging time for you to spend a day with us.

"We want our colleagues to be as diverse as our clients. Our teams are inclusive and celebrate difference so if you meet our role requirements, we'd love to hear from you."
