Careers and vacancies
Join the Ashlands team
We’re always open to hearing from qualified vets, nurses and support team professionals who are interested in joining our practice.
Our team
Our branches in Glusburn, Ilkley and Skipton are located on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, and we’re less than 45 minutes away from Leeds by train and just half an hour away from Leeds Bradford International Airport.
Our fantastic team is made up of people from all different backgrounds and walks of life, all of whom share a passion for excellent patient care.
Whether you’re a recent graduate or an experienced hand, you can trust that you’ll always be supported by lovely team members, who bring a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and compassion to their respective roles.
Working at Ashlands Vets
If you’re interested in emergency and critical care, we run our own 24/7 emergency service from our Ilkley branch, while our local branch sites allow us to provide direct, day-to-day support, both making a real difference to our community.
We’re a sociable bunch too, and regularly get together for quiz nights, meals out, craft workshops and team games!
Being part of VetPartners also means that we can offer generous CPD allowances and varied training and development opportunities, as well as perks such as the HealthShield health plan scheme, a large central support team, personal development plans and much more.
For a confidential, informal chat about our availability, get in touch.
We are committed to providing a fair recruitment process with equality of opportunity for all, and our vacancies are open to those from all backgrounds.
Our current vacancies
Registered Veterinary Nurse – Fixed Term Contract – 6 Months
Ashlands Veterinary Centre is expanding its Veterinary Nurse Team.
With surgeries in Glusburn, Ilkley and Skipton you have the opportunity to join a passionate team of Veterinary Professionals from all walks of life.
We have Registered Veterinary Nurse positions for the right candidates to advance their career and build their skills.
If you love your job but don’t feel like you are making a difference, Ashlands Veterinary Centre might be the practice for you. It is central to our RVN strategy, that we promote and reward technical and behavioural excellence in our Registered Veterinary Nurses.
Under our new management structure, you will be supported as we grow and specialise our surgeries. We’re looking for candidates who are not only comfortable, but thrive working within an environment which can be busy and challenging. Teamwork, attention to detail and working to high standards whilst working in a Veterinary environment is essential.
The right candidate must be a professional, committed person, who will be dedicated to the care and welfare of our patients. Your ability to work independently, use initiative and communicate well within a team is of great importance, as well as a hard-working, eager nature and confidence when approaching and handling companion animals.
Working at Ashlands means you have a work life balance!
With no more than 1 in 12 weekends and Saturday shifts, no night work or on call and the option to work chosen Bank Holidays.
Not only that, we’re flexible! Speak to us about part or full-time work.
Whether you’re a recently qualified nurse or more experienced, we’re looking for individuals who love being a Veterinary Nurse!
What’s it like working for us?
Being part of our team means working amongst colleagues and friends who are likely to be from different backgrounds with different experiences but ultimately, when it comes to caring for our patients, we are the same.
Whilst every day is different, our team is established – with many of our team members working with us for several years. Each person brings with them a wealth of knowledge and a caring attitude so nothing is ever too much for someone if you need support.
We’re social; whether you like quiz nights, meals out, craft workshops or team games, there’s something social for any lifestyle.
Salary scale: £25,500 – £30,500K.
