Unlock your passions at Towerwood Vets
We are situated in picturesque Northwest Leeds. We have excellent travel links as we’re very close to Leeds Bradford airport and within easy reach of Leeds, Harrogate and York whilst on the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales countryside.
We truly have something for everyone! We can offer you the chance to immerse yourself in the peace and serenity of the Yorkshire countryside, or perhaps you’d prefer the vibrant and booming student culture within Leeds City. We are RCVS accredited and ISFM Gold standard small animal general practice and working together as a bonded team we visualise you also becoming an integral part of the local community, very trusted to provide the absolute best care and advice available.
We are a long-established team made up of 7 full time Vets, 10 strong RVN team, 3 ACAs and 7 SVNs. The clinical team is complimented by a PM as well as a dedicated reception team. We all greatly enjoy working with each other and the environment together. We’re an extremely social bunch, there’s always something going on outside of work. We often meet up for drinks on the weekends and out Christmas parties are always a hit with the team. You’ll always have access to a dedicated mental health first aider on shift. We ensure that there are adequate breaks throughout the day to work up your caseload.
We have 4 fully equipped rooms for general consults, prep room and separate theatre, separate cat and dog wards and a separate waiting area for feline patients. Our facilities offer an extensive array of medical equipment, and we aim to tailor our roles to suit your clinical interests and professional development. We have a second branch equipped with two consult rooms, recovery kennels, prep and theatre.
