We have superb equipment across our three sites including ultrasound, digital and dental x-ray, dental machine. Our in-house Lab machines are idexx catalyst and procyte.
Our caseload includes caring for small animals, small furries and wildlife including even the odd seal! We are also very proud to be working with local charities and rescues. We were established 70 years ago and are a dedicated Veterinary Group offering care across East Yorkshire. We pride ourselves on always offering first class service, therefore we have such a loyal client base.

A full time role will require you to work four days per week with an out of hours rota that sits at one night every two weeks as well as one weekend every 3 months. however, we’re more than happy to hear from applicants that want a day time only role. We can also offer flexibility with hours and duties in order to create a role that matches your personal circumstances.
Our Team & Culture
Our team prides themselves on a good work ethic, and we really believe in supporting each other. Over our three sites we have capacity for 7 knowledgeable Vets, 7 experienced RVNs, 2 dedicated Nursing assistants as well as a fantastic, friendly client care team. One of our Vets is currently studying towards a surgical certificate. We have an array of experience levels within our team as well as some long serving team members who have been with us for 10, 15 and even 20 years, including more than a few who have left for various reasons and then returned back to the team at a later date.
We understand joining a new team can sometimes be a little daunting but here at Priory Vets you will be made to feel very welcome! We have such a welcoming team. The team often socialize outside of work and take part in team bonding. The team in their spare time can often be found attending local quizzes, running charity marathons, trying to crack escape rooms and even indoor golf! We have two mental health first aiders on staff meaning that there’s always someone on shift to talk to on the more challenging days.
Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what the team have to say about life at Priory:
“I have worked at Priory Vets since 2005, firstly at the Driffield branch and later in a senior role, at the Bridlington hospital. After a brief change of job, I returned to Bridlington in 2021. At Priory Vets, the friendly experienced team of nursing and reception staff and the lovely clients and their pets make a great working atmosphere. On the clinical side the practice has a good mix of medical (including inpatient facilities) and surgical cases and up to date equipment allows work up of cases with case continuity.” Clare, Senior Vet
“I have worked at Priory for nearly five years both as a student nurse and as a registered veterinary nurse. Priory is a great place to work, everyone goes above and beyond in their role and there are always opportunities to progress and develop your skills with no end of support to enable you to do this. If things are a bit difficult or you are having problems whether professional or personal your colleagues (who quickly become like family) are always supportive and there is always someone to talk to and steps are always put in place to help you. I look forward to continuing my career at Priory.” Laura, RVN
