Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking for a role where you can develop clinically, feel genuinely supported, and enjoy a healthy work-life balance?
At Leigh Vets for Pets, we’re growing and looking for a like-minded vet to join us on the next stage of our journey. This is a chance to become part of a progressive, well-supported team where your development, wellbeing, and ideas are valued every day.
Why Join Us?
We’ve built a culture we’re proud of - supportive, stable, and focused on doing things properly.
Our Practice Manager, Sara, started with us in 2017 and progressed into leadership, reflecting our commitment to developing our people from within. Many of our team have been here for years, which says a lot about the environment we’ve created together.
We believe great veterinary care starts with a well-supported team. Diaries are carefully managed to prevent overload, and our experienced nursing team provides strong clinical and practical support throughout the day. The result is a smoother workflow and more time to focus on cases, not chaos.
The Practice
Our modern, purpose-built surgery is designed to support high clinical standards and in-house case workups.
We see a varied and growing caseload, with strong client loyalty and a focus on continuity of care. There’s excellent opportunity to build on your interests and develop further clinical skills.
We fully fund certificates and actively encourage further study. New ideas and different approaches are always welcomed—we learn from each other and continuously improve how we work.
The Role
We’re looking for a confident vet comfortable with routine medical and surgical cases, with occasional sole charge. You’ll be trusted with autonomy but backed by a supportive, experienced team.
What You’ll Get
Location
Based at Parsonage Way Retail Park, the practice offers free parking and easy access to local amenities.
Leigh is a friendly market town with excellent transport links via the A580, connecting you quickly to Manchester, Liverpool, and beyond. You’ll also have the best of both worlds—urban life on your doorstep and easy access to the Pennines, countryside walks, and weekend escapes to the Lake District.
Join us and be part of something special at Leigh Vets for Pets.

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!
Since 1991, when we were a wholesaler with a team of just 15, we’ve been focused on getting better every day. By putting pets before profit, working as a team and taking pride in everything we do, we’ve grown into a 451 store network with more than 8,913 colleagues working in our Stores, Grooming Salons, Distribution Centres and Support Office.
We are the UK’s leading pet specialist, providing pet owners with all their product needs, as well as our Vets for Pets practices and Grooming salons. We support our colleagues to work with pride and passion, to bring honesty and integrity to work every day, and to do it all with a sense of fun and fearlessness. We never shy away from having the important conversations and doing what we say we’ll do.
Our values and behaviours are practiced daily across the business and are what really makes us an enjoyable, exciting place to work. We're always striving to develop and reward our colleagues with an extensive in-house series of training programmes, wellbeing initiatives and a comprehensive benefits package. In 2018 we were delighted to be voted top 5 in the Great Place to Work UK’s Large category.
Our colleagues are central to the success of the business and are fully trained in pet care and dedicated to animal welfare. Pets are central to everything that we do and 93% of colleagues have their own pets too!
