At The Visiting Vet Company, we are redefining small animal general practice across North Leeds and the surrounding regions.
We are an independent, friendly, and growing small animal mobile practice bringing low-stress, compassionate care straight to pets in their homes. We like doing things a bit differently—no rushed appointments, no chaotic waiting rooms, and no high-volume pressure.
Just a really fulfilling, unhurried approach to practice life, doing great clinical work for loyal, dedicated clients who truly appreciate what we do.
As an independent mobile service, we bridge the gap between high-level veterinary medicine and genuine, compassionate client care.
Why We're Different:
- Patient-Centred Environment: We examine pets where they feel safest: on their own sofa, in the garden, or on their favourite rug.
- True Continuity: Our vets build long-standing relationships with families, seeing cases through from initial preventative care to compassionate end-of-life support.
- Balanced Workday: By structuring our days around efficient regional routes and realistic consult lengths, we try to protect our team from burnout while maintaining exceptional clinical standards.
Whether providing routine health checks or delivering gentle palliative care, we operate with integrity and kindness.
- More Than Just Consults: While this is a mobile role, you aren’t limited in what you can do. We have in-house blood machines and an ultrasound available. If you have ultrasound experience, brilliant! If not, absolutely no worries at all—it’s not a requirement.
- Support on the Road: You’ll be joined by an experienced Veterinary Care Assistant or Nurse who drives the practice vehicle, helps with restraint, and keeps everything stocked.
- Zero Admin Headaches: A dedicated Practice Coordinator manages incoming calls, bookings, and route mapping so you can focus entirely on your patients.
- Unhurried Appointments: Enjoy 20–60 minute visits. You’ll actually have the time to work up cases properly, examine patients thoroughly, and build lasting relationships.
- RCVS Registered: A Veterinary Surgeon with solid post-qualification UK small animal experience (ideally 3+ years desirable).
- Clinically Autonomous: Confident with sole-charge decision making and comfortable working outside of a standard building setup.
- Empathetic Communicator: Warm, personable, and passionate about calm patient handling and outstanding client care.
- Full clean UK driving licence (essential).
Please note: While 3+ years' experience is ideal, we are completely open to hearing from people with less experience too! If you are keen, autonomous, and like the sound of mobile practice, please reach out—we'd love to hear from anybody who feels this could be a great fit.
- Salary: £45,000 – £65,000 FTE pro-rata (DOE)
- Working hours: Completely flexible! 1–2 days per week ideal, but we’re open to any pattern or hours that suit your life.
