Veterinary Surgeon – A unique standalone practice(UK Visa Sponsorship Available)

Job Description

About Us

Our standalone practice is truly unique — based in a converted fire station, it offers a bright, spacious, and modern environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. From advanced diagnostic equipment to the space to manage complex cases on-site, we provide everything you need to deliver exceptional care.

Over the years, we’ve built a loyal and supportive client base. With our practice continuing to grow, there’s huge potential for further development. You’ll be joining a team that’s passionate about gold-standard veterinary care, collaboration, and making a real difference to our local community.

Location

Hemsworth is a thriving market town with excellent transport links. The practice is just a short walk from the bus station, connecting easily to Barnsley, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Doncaster. With both the M1 and A1 nearby, commuting from Leeds, Sheffield, or even Manchester is simple.

Outside of work, you’ll find plenty to enjoy — from exploring Nostell Priory and relaxing at Hemsworth Water Park, to discovering the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside. Whether you’re after peaceful walks, family adventures, or city nightlife, Hemsworth offers the best of both worlds.

The Role

This position is fully flexible, with options for:

• Full-time (40 hours)
• Part-time (minimum 24 hours)
• Flexible scheduling to suit your lifestyle

Weekend work is shared fairly across the team, and there are no out-of-hours (OOH) responsibilities, ensuring a healthy work-life balance.

We’re looking for a small animal vet who:

• Has experience in general practice
• Is confident with sole charge when required
• Communicates clearly and works well within a team
• Is committed to delivering high-quality patient and client care

In return, we’ll support your career aspirations — whether that’s pursuing a certificate, postgraduate qualification, or leadership development. We’ll back your ideas and encourage your professional growth every step of the way.

What We Offer

• Salary up to £80,000 (DOE)
• £5,000 Welcome/Relocation Bonus
• Fully flexible working patterns
• Generous CPD allowance, including funding for certificates
• Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, plus one additional of your choice)

Pension scheme & private healthcare

• Exclusive staff discounts, including up to 30% off Pets at Home & The Groom Room
• Career progression opportunities across a nationwide network
• Relocation support (UK or overseas) and visa sponsorship

Why Join Us?

At Hemsworth Vets for Pets, you’ll enjoy the independence of a locally run practice with the backing and stability of a national group. You’ll work in a welcoming, modern practice with a supportive team, flexible working options, and genuine opportunities to shape your own career.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your veterinary journey — where your growth, wellbeing, and ideas truly matter — we’d love to hear from you.

Practice Ownership Opportunities

We’re also looking for potential Practice Owners — Vets, RVNs, and experienced Practice Managers ready to take the next step in their careers.

Our Partnership Model offers:

• Instant brand recognition and access to over 8 million Pets Club customers
• A salary from day one
• A supportive community of 600+ practice owners
• Expert guidance for your professional and personal success

If you’re ambitious, business-minded, and passionate about building lasting value for yourself and your community, we’d love to discuss ownership opportunities with you.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life. We value, respect, and celebrate diversity, and we’re committed to creating opportunities for all. Even if your experience doesn’t match every requirement, if you share our values and can bring something unique to our team, we encourage you to apply.
