You’ll be at least 2 years qualified.

If you’d like to concentrate on a specialism (such as dentistry, imaging or surgery) we can accommodate that and help you further a specific skill or focus on being a great all rounder.

• The salary will depend on the role and experience but will be generous in this competitive market, and regularly readdressed.
• There are future investment / partnership prospects for the right individual.
• The rota is shared equally between all the vets, with a set weekday night each week which helps with home life planning, and one weekend in five as we like to keep our “out of hours” in-house.
• On call incentive scheme
• CPD is actively supported and is paid and time off given to complete it. We have two vets as certificate holders and one working to a cert and will actively support and encourage this
• Holidays are vital and we currently give 5 weeks and bank holidays.
• Mileage is currently paid at 55p per mile with plans for a practice vehicle next year.
• Discounted veterinary fees and wellness plan membership for your pets
• Paddocks and stables are available at the practice if you have horses you’d like to have close by, and we bring our dogs to work.  (Unless they are as unruly as Clare’s!)
• A real coffee machine – and it really is good!

We are open to considering requests for flexible part-time working.

It is rarely possible to work remotely although some admin tasks may be completed during time working from home.

We would prefer a face to face meeting with Clare, Lucy and Vicky – the 3 practice owner vets.  We like to get to know you and chat through your experience and future plans and aspirations, and would include some structured competency questions.  Most important for us is the fit with the team.

A trial day for prospective ideal candidates can be discussed.

We would hope to offer the job to the right candidate shortly after interviews.

The 3 owner vets – (left to right) Vicky, Clare & Lucy

The three practice owners are all working mums who are proud to be vets and to have a job they genuinely love.  In lovely rural surroundings, we are a 5-vet team with 5 nurses, 1 student nurse and 5 client care team members. Amongst the team we have two vets who are certificate holders and our head nurse, an ECC certificate.

We have a lovely, broad and well-bonded client base of different characters and their wonderful pets and horses. We all enjoy being part of a local community providing excellent veterinary care with a good work life balance.

We have a passion for reducing our impact on the planet and are working toward bronze accreditation with investors in the environment.  Team litter picking and other environmental initiatives take place on a regular basis.

We chose to buy the practice to keep it independent as we all love working here.

We appreciate the work life balance and family values of the workplace coupled with the clinical freedom and personal growth the practice allows.

We have created a brilliant place to work offering a professional, friendly and compassionate service to our clients; we believe a happy and valued team offers the best in veterinary care and we strive hard to maintain this.

With great access to cultural aspects of York & Leeds city life within 30-60 minutes, we really do have it all!

We would consider applications from overseas candidates.
