Looking for a veterinary role that offers career progression and genuine work–life balance?
Welcome to Scarborough Vets for Pets – where you can build your career and still enjoy life by the coast.
We’re seeking a Veterinary Surgeon with 3+ years’ experience to join our friendly, close-knit team. Whether you're looking for a full-time (40 hours) position or flexible/part-time hours, we’ll tailor a rota that works for you.
Why This Role Stands Out
1. No out-of-hours or Sundays – your evenings and weekends are protected
2. 1 in 2 Saturday mornings on a fair rota
3. Clinical freedom with real input into how the practice evolves
4. Supportive environment with occasional sole charge (backed by a strong team)
5. Opportunity to shape your role around your interests
About the Practice
Located inside Pets at Home in central Scarborough, our practice is undergoing an exciting refurbishment – creating a modern, bright, and welcoming space.
We are well-equipped with:
6. Idexx laboratory
7. Dental X-ray
8. Fully equipped theatre
9. Provet PMS
10. Regular support from visiting specialists
You’ll join a progressive, community-focused team that champions collaboration, inclusivity, and continuous development.
Life in Scarborough
Enjoy everything the Yorkshire coast has to offer:
11. Beautiful sandy beaches right on your doorstep
12. Vibrant cafés, restaurants, and local nightlife
13. Easy access to the North York Moors for outdoor adventures
14. Great transport links to York and beyond

15. Are an RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
16. Are confident in routine consults and surgery
17. Have strong communication skills
18. Are passionate about providing excellent patient care
19. Want to contribute ideas and help shape a growing practice
20. Are interested in certificate progression (fully supported)
What We Offer

22. £5,000 welcome bonus or relocation support
23. Generous CPD allowance with certificate funding
24. Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, BVA)
25. 5.6 weeks holiday, increasing with service
26. Contributory pension scheme
27. Colleague discounts (20% across Pets at Home, Vets for Pets & Groom Room)
28. Wellbeing support and pastoral care

Why Join Us?
At Scarborough Vets for Pets, you’ll benefit from clinical autonomy, a supportive team, and the flexibility to enjoy life outside of work. We welcome candidates with either clinical or leadership aspirations and are happy to consider part-time or surgically focused roles.
Imagine finishing your shift and heading straight to the beach – with a career that works for you, not the other way around.
Location: YO12 4DD
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:
30. Immediate brand recognition
31. Access to over 8 million Pets Club customers
32. 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!
