1 in 5 weekend cover required; no out-of-hours or night shifts
You'll be joining Westwood Vets as a first opinion veterinary surgeon on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a daytime-only role with no out-of-hours requirements, working a standard 4-day week with 10.5-hour days (8:30am to 6:30pm, though flexible shift patterns can be negotiated). Weekend cover sits at 1 in 5, shared fairly across the team.
The role is based primarily at the Sleaford practice, where you'll work alongside 8 other vets in a warm, professional team environment. You'll handle all general veterinary duties, both medical and surgical, with a strong emphasis on diagnostic work-ups and preventative healthcare. Exceptional communication and customer focus are valued highly here.
Westwood Veterinary Practice is an established, busy first opinion small animal clinic operating across two locations: Boston Spa (rural village setting) and Garforth (bustling town). The practice is part of inspiring vet care, the UK's leading vet care provider trusted with the care of over 2 million animals. Westwood maintains a warm, friendly team culture with an excellent client base and strong focus on clinical excellence.
The practice is well-equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasonography, bronchoscopy, laparoscopy, in-house laboratory, laser therapy, in-house orthopaedic capabilities (including MMP), echocardiograms, ECG, and digital dental x-ray at the Garforth branch. Both practices have designated operating theatres and prep areas, with the Garforth surgery featuring separate cat and dog wards. The practice works closely with Cats Protection Leeds, supporting their charity work with dedicated operating days.
