We are recruiting for new Vets!

Veterinary Surgeon – Companion Animal – Independent Practice
Role would suit a vet with experience.

We are expanding our Award-Winning Companion Animal department with a new purpose-designed surgery in Skipton opening next month. We’re looking for an experienced small animal vet (eligible to work in UK) to join our fantastic team at this exciting stage in our independent practice’s development. If your priorities include – a healthy, respectful workplace culture, clinical freedom, collaborative teamwork, personal and professional development – then we’d love to hear from you and discuss our proposal for:

• 4-day week (happy to consider part-time/flexible applications)
• Shared OOH on-call provision across the full vet team (currently 1 in 8)
• Competitive Salary, Commensurate with experience.
• Employee discounts.
• CPD allowance – professional development actively encouraged
• RCVS/VDS/Professional subscription

Our practice strives to be a great place to work, whilst continually seeking to improve our services – we work hard to support each other and incorporate EBVM into what we do. We were proud to be named RCVS Knowledge Champion in their 2026 awards and this year we hope to publish some of our practice-based anaesthetic safety findings in collaboration with researchers at University of Lancashire. If you have specific clinical interests, we are well placed to help develop these – however if GP vetting is your focus then you may be interested in our participation in RCVS’ work towards creating a new GP-specialist status – watch this space!

We’re very lucky to enjoy working with great clients in beautiful surroundings. If you’d like to discuss joining our friendly, supportive team then please get in touch – peter.ohagan@daleheadvetgroup.co.uk
