Job Description

Up to £80,000 FTE + £5,000 Welcome Bonus + £5,000 Relocation | Flexible Hours | No OOH | Closed Sundays

Trade the commute for coastal living

Imagine finishing your shift and heading straight to the seafront.

If you’re a Veterinary Surgeon looking for genuine career development, a better work–life balance, and a role that fits around your life - this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, experienced team at Bridlington Vets for Pets, where work feels rewarding and life feels lighter.

Why Join Us?

At Bridlington, we believe that happy teams deliver the best care - and we’ve built a culture to reflect that.

You’ll work alongside a supportive, close-knit team, led by our Clinical Lead, Amber, who is passionate about mentoring and helping colleagues grow with confidence and skill.
While there is some sole charge, you’ll always feel supported by a team that genuinely has each other’s backs.

Our loyal and growing client base means you’ll enjoy a varied and engaging caseload - from routine consults to more complex cases that will challenge and develop you. No two days are the same, which is exactly how we like it.

We’re also proud to be part of the local community, creating a workplace where flexibility, wellbeing and balance aren’t just talked about - they’re prioritised.

Life in Bridlington

Think award-winning beaches, fresh sea air, and a slower pace of life.

From sunrise dog walks and after-work fish and chips to weekend coastal hikes - Bridlington offers the kind of lifestyle that’s hard to beat.

With RSPB Bempton’s dramatic cliffs (and puffins!) nearby, plus the Yorkshire Wolds and North York Moors within easy reach, it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

You’ll also benefit from excellent transport links to Hull, Scarborough and York — giving you the best of both coastal charm and connectivity.

The Practice & Role

Our modern, purpose-built practice is fully equipped to support high clinical standards and excellent patient care.

We’re proud to be:

  • Gold ISFM Cat Friendly accredited
  • Silver RWAF accredited

We offer a flexible, people-first approach to working:

  • No out-of-hours
  • Closed Sundays
  • Flexible working patterns tailored to you
  • Open, honest conversations about rotas

Whether you’re looking for shorter days, fewer days, or flexibility around family life, we’ll work with you to create a schedule that suits you.

What We Offer

  • Salary up to £80,000 FTE
  • £5,000 Welcome Bonus or Relocation Package
  • Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
  • Generous CPD allowance with certificate support
  • AXA private healthcare
  • Income protection
  • 20% discount across Vets for Pets, Pets at Home & The Groom Room

Ready to Make the Move?

If you’re passionate about delivering outstanding pet care and want a role that genuinely fits around your life, this could be your moment.

If you'd like any further information about this vacancy, the practice or our company please contact our Talent Acquisition team via email; COVet@vets4pets.com for an informal and confidential conversation.

Location: YO16 4SH

Interested in Practice Ownership?

We’re also keen to speak with vets, RVNs, and experienced practice managers who are ready to take the next step into ownership.

Our partnership model offers:

• Immediate brand recognition
• Access to over 8 million Pets Club customers
• A salary from day one

You’ll join a thriving network of over 600 practice owners, with expert support to help you succeed both professionally and personally.

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
