Sounds like the new symptom has something to do with the brake job.

Was a new brake rotor (disc) installed? Is the tire loose?

Were the wheel bearings greased when the brakes were done?

The grinding noise sounds like something might be rubbing, the vibration makes me think something is unbalanced. A bent rotor (disc) might cause both of these things.

If the brake pedal pulses uncomfortably when you try to stop the rotor may be warped.

Also make sure the tire is balanced properly.

Another important thing is sometimes a very small amount of lubricant is placed on the sliding area of the brake caliper. If the rubber bushings are old or swollen, or there is no lubrication on the sliding part of the calipers, the brake caliper may be stuck and not be releasing correctly, sort of like holding the brake half on while you're driving. If this is true your wheels might feel very hot after driving some distance. Sounds like something that should be fixed soon.
