Veterinary Surgeon. West Yorkshire. £38k - £60k DOE.

The Independent Difference

The vision here is refreshingly simple: providing top-tier clinical care to the local community without the pressure of a boardroom looking over your shoulder. As an independent, RCVS-accredited nurse training practice, the focus is on doing what is right for the pet and the owner, not hitting monthly targets. With over 100 years of combined experience across a friendly team of five, there is always a mentor nearby to talk through a complex case or offer a second opinion.

A Modern Practice
While the values might be traditional, the equipment is anything but. The practice is fully loaded for the curious clinician, featuring flexible and rigid endoscopy, digital radiography, and Doppler ultrasonography. Because dermatology, cardiology, and advanced surgeries (like TTA, MPL, and BOAS) are managed in-house, clinicians enjoy total continuity of care and a supportive learning environment where skills actually grow.

The Lifestyle Balance
The schedule is designed to let you truly breathe. A 4.5-day week is standard, with a 1-in-5 Saturday rotation, and no OOH’s. Even better, the Friday after a worked weekend is a half-day, ensuring that "work-life balance" is more than just a buzzword.
Splitting your time between the two branches offers a rewarding mix: consults and surgery at Yeadon, and consults only at Pudsey. While an experienced vet would be preferred, a kind, empathetic, and a genuine team player matters just as much.
Nestled between the two branches, you’ll enjoy the very best of the region.

The Package
Salary: £38,000 – £60,000 (DOE) plus a monthly bonus scheme.
Support: Full GDP mentorship for new graduates, plus VDS/RCVS fees covered.
Perks: Simply Health insurance, pension, and staff pets treated at cost price.
CPD: Fully funded and actively encouraged.
Leave: 30 days including bank holidays.

So, what’s next?
Please send your CV to recruitment@vetfinders.co.uk. It doesn’t matter if it’s not up to date, we will come back to you.

Our client is 3-vet, 5-nurse practice in Dairy Flat, about 20 minutes north of Auckland’s city centre. They’re looking for a mixed or companion focused veterinarian with 5+ years’ experience to join their relaxed, capable team. The position is 30–40 hours per week over 4–5 days, and they’re genuinely flexible, they can shape hours around family, school, or lifestyle commitments if you’re the right fit.

Their work is roughly 80% companion animal and 20% large animal, with the largies made up of lifestyle blocks and pleasure horses.

The week in a nutshell:
30–40 hours, 4–5 days — flexible options available.
Saturday mornings shared 1 in 4, 8am–12pm only.
After-hours: currently not required; if needed, only on the large animal side.
Minimal sole charge, mainly Saturday mornings.

$2,500 CPD allowance, plus advanced practitioner pathway for higher study (e.g. memberships, Masters)
Accredited employer, they handle visa sponsorship and offer $2,000–$5,000 relocation support.
Dairy Flat offers the best of both worlds, a genuine country lifestyle just minutes from city convenience. You’ll swap traffic noise for birdsong, yet still be 20 minutes from Auckland’s buzz.

So, what’s next?
Please send your CV to recruitment@vetfinders.co.uk. It doesn’t matter if it’s not up to date, we will come back to you.
