A full-time, permanent Veterinary Surgeon position is available at a busy, family-run 24/7 hospital in West Yorkshire. This well-established hospital supports a network of 19 practices and serves as both an out-of-hours hub and a referral centre.

• Full-time Veterinary Surgeon
• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• 4-day working week (Monday–Friday), comprising a mix of consulting, surgery, and inpatient shifts
• 1 in 4 weekends (no sole charge; 10-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, focused on emergency and critical care, 30-minute consults, and inpatient management)
• £1,500 annual CPD allowance; certificate support and sponsorship encouraged
• Opportunity to work alongside certificate holders in Surgery, Medicine, and Dentistry
• Active internal CPD and clinical development program
• Join a supportive team of 70 colleagues, including 15 vets

This role would particularly suit an experienced vet with an interest in ophthalmology, as there is the potential to combine general duties with dedicated ophthalmology clinics and procedure days. With strong referral potential and a growing caseload in this area, there is significant scope to develop advanced services.

Applicants must have substantial experience working in UK veterinary practices and a proven clinical track record.
