Surgical Veterinary Surgeon required at Gatehouse Vets, Bingley

The Role

We are looking for an operating-only Veterinary Surgeon to join our lovely team at Gatehouse, Bingley. Our ideal candidate would be comfortable with soft tissue surgeries, with development of more advanced techniques actively encouraged. The role would be 25 hours per week, over five days with hours which can be deliberately designed to fit around other commitments such as childcare. 

There is no Out of Hours requirement for this role however participation in the weekend rota may be required occasionally.

We offer flexible working patterns that flex with you and your lifestyle. Whether you are looking to flex your rota hours to balance the school holidays, fix to navigate the school runs or just looking to strike that balance between home and work life. We can offer flexibility that actually works for you.

Salary is up to £65,000 depending on experience + Relocation allowance up to £5,000 if required. 

About Us

Our Bingley Practice is located just a short walk away from our lovely market town which is full of shops, cafes and restaurants. 

Our surgery is only around 2 years old and is still very lovely and shiny! We have a good ultrasound, imaging suit and dental radiography as well as all the usual equipment you would expect.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, we would love to meet you to chat more about our practice and team. If consulting is more your cup of tea, we do have some flexibility so please do get in touch.

About the Team and Culture

We are a strong and supportive team who believe in looking after each other and providing a safe environment to work in. We know, from experience, that allowing our colleagues to play to their strengths benefits the whole team and we always welcome suggestions of improvements and change.

We also have a strong learning ethos and hold journal clubs every couple of months which are often based around case discussion. 

We are proud to be a very diverse, multinational 5 Vet team with a range of personal preferences, including cardiology, feline medicine, fear free practice, poultry and dermatology! We are always looking to improve inclusivity (there's always room for improvement!) and one of our projects this year is for some of our colleagues to learn sign language.
