Are you looking for a role where you can enjoy a varied first opinion caseload, develop your clinical interests and have the flexibility to find the right work-life balance? Holmefield Veterinary Clinic are looking for an enthusiastic Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly and experienced team on a permanent basis.

Whether you're looking for a mix of consultations and surgery or have particular areas you'd like to develop, we're happy to tailor the role around your interests.  You'll be joining a supportive team who genuinely enjoy working together and are passionate about providing excellent patient and client care.

Flexible hours to suit your needs

Our standard full-time hours are 40 hours across Monday to Friday, alongside a share of 1 in 5 Saturday mornings. However, flexibility is a big part of how we work at Holmefield, and many of our vets already enjoy part-time working patterns. We're genuinely open to different hours and arrangements, whether you're looking for fewer days, shorter weeks or something more tailored to your lifestyle.

We want you to enjoy your career while having plenty of time for everything outside of work, so we're happy to have a conversation and find a working pattern that suits you best.

Meet like-minded professionals

Holmefield is a long-established, purpose-built 100% small animal practice, with a friendly team of 6  vets,  alongside an excellent nursing and support team. You'll enjoy a varied first opinion caseload, predominantly seeing dogs and cats, with the occasional small furry patient including gerbils, guinea pigs and hamsters. 

Our recently extended and refurbished main practice is bright, spacious and exceptionally well equipped. Facilities include digital X-ray, a dedicated dental suite, brand-new ultrasound with abdominal and cardiac scanning capabilities, K-laser, multiparameter monitoring and Doppler blood pressure. We also have separate species wards, a dedicated cattery, a separate vets' office for case discussions and admin, and a peaceful bereavement room.

Our branch practice in Sherburn-in-Elmet offers a smaller, community-focused environment, with consultations and routine surgeries. For patient safety, brachycephalic and higher-risk surgical patients are treated at our main site, ensuring access to the facilities and post-operative care they need.

Clinical development is a real priority for us. We currently have a certificate holder in small animal surgery and another in feline medicine so we’re keen to support our team in pursuing their own interests and are happy to fund further certificates for the right candidate.

Location & culture

Our main practice is based in the picturesque village of Brayton, with our branch in the thriving village of Sherburn-in-Elmet. Both locations offer a lovely semi-rural setting, with local pubs, restaurants, independent shops and plenty of character.
We're also ideally located for exploring North Yorkshire, with Selby railway station providing direct connections to Leeds, Manchester and London, and York just a 20-minute drive away. Leeds and Hull are also within easy reach. Accommodation may also be available if you're relocating or need somewhere to stay.

At Holmefield, we're proud of our close-knit and supportive culture. We hold regular team and practice meetings to make sure everyone has a voice, and staff wellbeing is a genuine priority, with a mental health first aider and access to additional support resources. We're also a sociable bunch, enjoying everything from pub nights and BBQs to summer and Christmas get-togethers. If you're looking for a practice where you can feel supported, develop your clinical interests and enjoy a genuinely flexible approach to working, we'd love to hear from you!
