Are you looking for a part-time Veterinary Surgeon role where you can enjoy a varied caseload, develop your clinical interests and still have plenty of time for life outside of work? At Shipley & Idle Vets, we're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and experienced team on a permanent, part-time basis. Whether you love a mixture of consultations and surgery or would prefer a consult-only role, we're happy to explore what works best for you.
We pride ourselves on providing high-quality first opinion care while creating a working environment where our people feel genuinely supported. With 15-minute consultations, protected admin time and scheduled breaks, you'll have the time to give your patients the attention they deserve without feeling rushed.
You'll enjoy a varied small animal caseload, from routine and preventative care to more interesting medical and surgical cases. We work up our cases to a high clinical standard and are happy to tailor your caseload around your experience and clinical interests. If you're passionate about medicine, enjoy surgery or would prefer to focus entirely on consulting, we'd love to hear from you. We're looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively and is keen to contribute to the continued development of our clinical services. We're also proud to support a local hedgehog charity, offering the opportunity to get involved in something a little different.
We know that work-life balance means different things to different people, which is why we're genuinely flexible when it comes to working patterns. Ideally, we're looking for someone to work 20–25 hours per week across two or three days, with shifts falling between 8:30am and 7:00pm. There is also a share of 1 in 3 Saturday mornings, 9:00am–1:00pm, covering consultations only. We're happy to discuss alternative shift patterns and hours to find an arrangement that suits your lifestyle, whether you're balancing family commitments, other interests or simply looking for a shorter working week.
Our people are what make Shipley & Idle Vets such a special place to work. You'll be joining a welcoming team of Veterinary Surgeons, RVNs, SVNs, VCAs and receptionists who genuinely enjoy working together and supporting one another. Our vets regularly highlight the fantastic support they receive from the nursing and reception teams, helping everyone work collaboratively and deliver excellent patient care. We also have a dedicated mental health first aider on shift, reflecting our commitment to looking after our people as well as our patients.
We're passionate about professional development and offer full certificate support, so whether you're looking to build on your existing skills or pursue a particular clinical interest, we'll support you along the way. Our practice is extremely well equipped, giving you access to brand-new, state-of-the-art ultrasound machine suitable for abdominal and cardiac studies, digital X-ray, flexible and rigid endoscopy & laparoscopy.
Our main practice is located in Shipley, a welcoming market town in West Yorkshire, less than a mile from the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire. With its independent cafés, restaurants, shops, green spaces and the iconic Salts Mill, there's plenty to enjoy right on your doorstep. For those who love the outdoors, the surrounding Yorkshire countryside offers fantastic opportunities for walking and exploring, while Leeds city centre is easily accessible for shopping, entertainment and city life.
