Published: 6 days ago

Are you looking for a genuinely flexible veterinary role where you can focus on what you enjoy most—consulting—while being supported by an experienced, collaborative hospital team?
We're working with a well-established veterinary hospital in Leeds that is seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly and highly skilled team on a part-time basis. This is an excellent opportunity for a vet who enjoys building client relationships, delivering high-quality clinical care, and working within a progressive hospital environment without routine surgical responsibilities.
The Role
This is a consult-only position, offering a 22-hour per week contract made up of:
  • Two consulting shifts per week (choose from Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday)
  • 8.5-hour consulting shifts (either 9am-6pm or 11am-8pm)
  • 30-minute sick-pet consultations as standard, allowing time to deliver excellent patient care
In addition, you'll participate in:
  • 1 in 4 weekends (equivalent to 5 hours per week)
  • Working alongside one of three weekend vets and a full hospital team
  • ECC and urgent care cases only
  • Exposure to emergency procedures within a supportive hospital setting
  • Weekend shifts ranging between:
    • 7:30am-6pm
    • 9:30am-8pm
    • 10am-8:30pm
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You'll be joining a thriving veterinary hospital with approximately 70 colleagues, including 15 vets, where collaboration, clinical excellence, and professional development are genuinely valued.
The hospital offers access to advanced facilities including:
  • CT Scanner
  • Ultrasound
  • Endoscopy
  • Laparoscopy
The team also provides referral services and out-of-hours hospital cover for multiple practices across the region, creating a varied and interesting caseload.
Exceptional Clinical Support
Whether you're looking to develop a particular area of interest or simply enjoy working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll have access to outstanding support from certificate holders in:
  • Surgery
  • Internal Medicine
  • Dentistry
You'll also become part of a proactive veterinary clinical development team that actively encourages learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
Development & Benefits
  • £1,000 annual CPD allowance
  • Structured in-house CPD and clinical development support
  • RCVS membership paid
  • BVA membership paid
  • BSAVA membership paid
  • Pension scheme
  • Life insurance
  • Income protection
  • 20% colleague discount on products and services
  • Enhanced colleague-specific discounts
This position would suit a Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys consulting, values a supportive team culture, and wants to work within a well-equipped hospital environment while maintaining an excellent work-life balance.
If you're seeking a role where you'll be given the time, resources, and support to deliver exceptional patient care while continuing to develop professionally, we'd love to tell you more.
