Today we say a fond farewell to Jenna, one of our amazing veterinary nurses here at Ashlands Vets.

Jenna has been a proactive, funny, and energetic member of our team, always bringing positivity and a smile to every shift. We’ll miss her humour, her dedication, and the wonderful energy she brought to the practice every day.

We wish her all the best as she moves on to new adventures and career direction– 💙

We are experiencing a full power outage at our Ilkley surgery, this is also impacting our computers at the Skipton and Glusburn surgeries.

Our team are doing everything they can to maintain a high level of service, however some services are suspended until power returns (13:00 is the prediction).

Thank you for understanding.

Last week our whole team gathered for a day of training 🤓

Everyone spent the morning together learning about personality insights and how it makes each of us unique.

After a hearty lunch the teams split down with the Vets focussing on case studies, physio (led by our very own in house physiotherapist lead nurse Steph) and ultrasound scanning.

The nursing team covered a new process in how we pass on important information during patient handovers, and our Reception, Admin and Animal Care Assistants spent time reviewing our processes for our customer journey. Both these teams then joined forces to complete our yearly refresher training in insurance referrals for puppies and kittens.

Thank you to the lovely staff and residents of Abbeyfield Grove House for making us so welcomed and keeping us well looked after.

We're closed for training Thursday Sept 11th.

We have had a small female dog handed into the Ilkley practice. She is black, white and tan. She was found near Wyvil crescent, if you think she could be yours please contact the surgery.

This handsome guy was found as a stray near Elliott street in Skipton. He’s very friendly and in good shape so may well be missed by a family. If you have any information please call us on 01756636999.

A Fond Farewell to Eliza 💛🐾

Today we say a big thank you and good luck to our wonderful Animal Care Assistant, Eliza.

In just nine months, Eliza has made a huge impact — bringing her bubbly, positive energy to every shift and meeting every challenge with a “can do” attitude. She’s been a true beacon of positivity for the team, brightening the day for colleagues, clients, and pets alike.

Eliza is moving on to a new role closer to home, and while we’ll miss her warmth and laughter around the practice, we couldn’t be happier for her exciting next chapter.

Good luck, Eliza — you’ll always be part of our family here! 💛🐾

Ashlands Veterinary Centre – Ilkley | Glusburn | Skipton
Registered Veterinary Nurse – Full Time

This December, we open the doors to our brand new, purpose-built practice in Ilkley – and we’re looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) to grow with us.

It’s more than a new building – it’s a new era for our team. Modern facilities, collaborative spaces, and the same caring culture we’re proud of across all three of our branches.

👀 Picture this:

You, in a multidisciplinary role that keeps your skills sharp (surgery, medicine, consults, recovery)

A fresh, bright clinical environment built for better workflows and even better care

A team that supports your growth, values your ideas, and celebrates the wins together

✅ You are:

An RCVS-registered RVN with great communication and team spirit

Detail-driven, calm under pressure, and happy juggling a varied caseload

Looking for good work life balance

Excited by change, opportunity, and the chance to help shape something new

Why now? Why us?

Because we’re building more than walls – we’re building a culture. And this is your chance to help define it from the start.

📍 Based across Ilkley, Glusburn & Skipton
📧 Apply now: [email protected]

Let’s shape the future of Ashlands together.

Gorgeous little Albie came to visit us at our Skipton branch today from RSPCA Keighley, Craven & Upper Wharfedale.
He’s been castrated, microchipped so he’s ready to start looking for his new home!
We’re so happy to have been part of his journey to his new life. Such a friendly happy guy!
😍😻
