Veterinary Surgeon - coastal location

Imagine having a career where your professional goals align perfectly with a coastal lifestyle that most people only dream of. Picture yourself in a picturesque coastal town, spending your downtime at a beach hut, stocked with paddleboards, wine, and the famous local fish and chips. This isn't just a job—it's a lifestyle upgrade.

A well-established veterinary practice in the heart of Yorkshire’s stunning coastal region is looking for a passionate small animal vet. 

The practice is equipped with cutting-edge facilities—separate cat and dog wards, digital and dental x-rays, ultrasound, endoscopy, and multi-parameter monitoring systems. The environment is supportive, encouraging continuous learning, with full backing if you want to pursue a certificate. And if leadership ambitions are on the horizon, partnership opportunities where your voice and ideas matter are available.

Work-life balance is a priority. The position offers a 4-day work week with set hours (8:30 am-6:30 pm), a designated admin period, and guaranteed lunch breaks. A manageable 1:4 weekend rota and out-of-hours support for less experienced vets mean weekends can be spent relaxing or exploring.

In Whitby, there’s plenty to do outside of work. Paddleboarding, surfing, hiking the North York Moors, or visiting the famous Whitby Abbey—it’s all within easy reach. The town’s lively food scene, including award-winning fish and chips, adds to the charm, and the team regularly meets up for social outings.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

A competitive salary of £40,000 to £60,000
5 weeks of holiday, plus bank holidays
Generous CPD budget, with full support for certificates
Paid memberships for RCVS, VDS, and one more of your choice
Use of the practice beach hut
Visa sponsorship available
Bring your dog to work, every day

This role offers not only a fulfilling career but also an enviable coastal lifestyle. If you're looking for a position that allows time to enjoy life while advancing your veterinary career, this could be the perfect fit. Whitby is waiting, where work and play are perfectly balanced.
