Veterinary Surgeon

Job Description

Come and join our wonderful team at Pusey vets for pets. 

Pudsey Vets for Pets is a well-established practice situated in West Yorkshire.  Pudsey is a beautiful market town in West Yorkshire and yes, the town does give its name to Pudsey Bear from Children in Need.  Being close to cities such as Leeds, Bradford and Manchester provide excellent transport links.  We are also located close to stunning Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales National Park.

You will be joining an excellent team lead by our Practice Owner Saskia whom brings a wealth of clinical leadership to the practice.  You will also be working with and have the full support of our experienced Head Nurse Annyth and fellow vets alongside an incredible nursing team.    Our lead vet has a surgery certificate and we regularly welcome visiting ultrasound and cardiology specialists. This means most of our case workups can and are done in-house offering excellent case continuity and an amazing opportunity to develop your own clinical interests. 

As a busy practice the team welcomes long standing clients which brings an interesting and varied caseload to the practice daily.  Our Practice Owner is committed to supporting those that might be interested in pursuing a certificate, be this taking the modules back to back or over a longer period of time to balance with lifestyle outside of the practice.

Colleague well-being is a priority of ours.  We work with a base of loyal and kind clients, are on first name terms with most of our clients and have a supportive culture which is evident in the practice for any vet wishing to come and meet with the team.  We hold regular meetings and we structure our day carefully allowing for 15 minute consults, although we understand that some things take longer, as there is a lot to discuss when doing 1st vaccinations so offer double appointments for these and other non-routine consults such as blood tests and euthanasia.

Ideally this is a fulltime role, however we are happy to look at a job share for 2 vets wishing to have this working pattern.  While CPD and certificates are funded, a partnership prospect exists for the right candidate.  Saskia is happy to be flexible with hours, consider a vet who wishes to do both consults and surgery, or just consults – get in touch as we understand the need for flexibility.  There is no OOH requirement, we open 6 days per week and would ask you to take part in a weekend rota which is currently 1:3.

In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for a colleague with solid GP experience, a team player with great communication skills and someone who shares our passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care.  A competitive salary is on offer dependent on experience, your birthday off in addition to a generous holiday allowance.  We welcome overseas candidates and offer fully funded visa sponsorship or relocation package among the other excellent benefits you would expect from a leading veterinary employer.

For a confidential, informal chat about the role please call Rachael Bury on 07719014812 or e-mail northvet@vets4pets.com for a confidential conversation.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
