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
Veterinary Surgeon
We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our established team following the departure of a long-standing colleague.
At Ashlands Vets we are passionate about delivering outstanding patient care and helping each other succeed. This role offers an opportunity to join a thriving, forward-thinking practice at an exciting stage of its development.
You will be working alongside multiple certificate holders in medicine, surgery, dermatology and ECC, giving you access to a wealth of knowledge and clinical support. We pride ourselves on providing a high standard of care and managing a wide range of medical and surgical cases in-house, allowing you to follow your own cases from start to finish while enjoying genuine clinical freedom backed by an experienced and collaborative team.
We believe our patients deserve 24-hour care from the team they know and trust. Our in-house out-of-hours service provides excellent continuity of care, allowing you to see cases through and experience the rewarding variety that emergency work can bring. Just as importantly, we understand the importance of work-life balance, so our on-call commitment is designed to be low impact and highly flexible with the option to buy and sell on call shifts (in addition to your salary). Our full-time vets currently enjoy a 4-day week and 1 in 5 weekends. We are very happy to discuss flexible working.
This is an exciting time to join us. In December 2025, we moved into our purpose-built veterinary hospital, which has since achieved RCVS Hospital accreditation, reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of patient care, clinical governance, facilities and equipment.
We are equally as committed to investing in our people and actively encourage and fund further professional development, including certificates and additional qualifications.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who genuinely loves being a vet and wants to be part of our super friendly, ambitious and welcoming team.
Salary Up to £60,000+ DOE
(Enhanced salary scale available for certificate holders and experienced candidates)
