Veterinary Surgeon – Harmsworth Vets for Pets(UK visa sponsorship available)

Job Description

About the Role

We’re looking for a passionate and skilled Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team at Harmsworth Vets for Pets.

Whether you’re aiming to develop a specialist interest, pursue a certificate, or grow into a senior role, we’ll support your career goals and tailor your development path to suit you. This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet who’s looking for more than just another job — a place where your ideas are valued, your voice is heard, and your growth is genuinely supported.

About Us

Our standalone practice is truly one of a kind — located in a converted fire station, providing a bright, spacious, and modern working environment. We’re equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and diagnostic tools that allow you to work up your own cases and deliver excellent, gold-standard care to our patients.

Over the years, we’ve built a loyal client base and a strong reputation for quality care and compassion. As our practice continues to grow, so does the potential for your professional development. You’ll be joining a collaborative team that shares a genuine passion for animals, teamwork, and delivering exceptional veterinary care to the pets and people of our community.

Location

Harmsworth is a vibrant market town with great transport links. The practice is within walking distance of the bus station, offering easy access to Barnsley, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Doncaster. With the M1 and A1 nearby, you’re also well connected to Leeds, Sheffield, and Manchester — perfect for those who enjoy the balance of small-town life and city accessibility.

In your downtime, you can explore local attractions like Nostell Priory, Hemsworth Water Park, or simply unwind in the Yorkshire countryside. Whether you enjoy quiet walks, family activities, or lively nightlife, Hemsworth has something for everyone.

The Role

This role is fully flexible to suit your lifestyle:

Full-time (40 hours per week)

Part-time (minimum 24 hours per week)

Flexible scheduling options

Weekend work is shared fairly among the team, and there are no out-of-hours responsibilities, giving you a genuine work-life balance.

We’re looking for a vet who has:

Small animal experience in general practice

Confidence with sole charge when needed

Strong communication and people skills

A collaborative approach and commitment to gold-standard patient care

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to shape your career. If you wish to pursue a certificate or postgraduate qualification, we’ll support and fund it. If you have ideas for improving services, we’ll listen. At Hemsworth Vets for Pets, your development and wellbeing are always our priority.

What’s on Offer

In addition to a competitive salary of up to £80,000 (DOE) and a £5,000 welcome/relocation bonus, you’ll enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including:

Fully flexible working patterns

Generous CPD allowance with support for certificates and professional development

Paid RCVS, VDS, and one other membership of your choice

Pension scheme and private healthcare

Exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (including up to 30% off at Pets at Home and The Groom Room)

Clear career progression pathways within a nationally supported network

Relocation assistance (UK or overseas) and visa sponsorship (A+ rated sponsor)

Why Join Us?

At Hemsworth Vets for Pets, you’ll have the best of both worlds — the independence of a local practice with the support and stability of a large, successful group. You’ll be part of a welcoming, motivated team working in a unique setting, with the flexibility and opportunity to shape your career exactly the way you want it.

If you’re looking for a role where you can grow, make a difference, and feel truly supported — your future starts here.
