Job Description
A Practice Designed for Great Medicine
Hemsworth Vets for Pets operates from a beautifully converted former fire station — a bright, modern space intentionally designed to make clinical work smoother and more enjoyable. The clinic is equipped to allow proper case workups, encouraging high standards of diagnostics and treatment rather than rushed throughput.
You’ll join a supportive, collaborative team that values open communication, shared learning, and gold-standard patient care. The client base is loyal and growing, creating space for innovation and new service development.
Location & Lifestyle
Hemsworth offers a balance of community living with strong transport links to nearby cities. Green spaces, historic landmarks, and family-friendly amenities make it an appealing area to settle — whether you prefer outdoor relaxation or easy access to urban centres.
How the Role Works
This position is intentionally flexible:
- Full-time or part-time options available
- Flexible weekly scheduling
- Shared weekend rota
- No out-of-hours requirements
- The aim is to build a working pattern that fits your life — not the other way around.
What You’ll Bring
You are a qualified MRCVS veterinary surgeon who:
- Has experience in small animal general practice
- Is comfortable with occasional sole charge
- Communicates confidently with clients and colleagues
- Values teamwork and clinical excellence
- Is motivated to grow professionally
- Above all, you’re someone who wants a career environment that actively supports your ambitions.
- Career Development That’s Actually Supported
Progression is tailored to your goals. Whether you want to pursue postgraduate study, step toward leadership, or introduce new clinical services, the practice invests in making it happen — including funding and structured support.
Salary & Benefits Snapshot
- Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience
- £5,000 welcome or relocation bonus
- Flexible scheduling options
- CPD allowance with funded certificate pathways
- Paid professional memberships
- Pension scheme and private healthcare
- Relocation assistance (UK and international)
- Visa sponsorship available
- Colleague discounts across group services
- Clear progression pathways
Optional Path: Practice Ownership
For vets or senior clinical professionals interested in long-term business leadership, a partnership model provides access to brand infrastructure, operational support, and an established community of practice owners — allowing you to build both clinical and financial value.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t a template job. It combines the close-knit feel of a local clinic with the backing of a national network — creating a stable environment where flexibility, autonomy, and professional growth genuinely coexist.
