This rota provides a varied mix of day and night ECC work, alongside regular periods of time off, helping to maintain a healthy balance between work and life outside the clinic.

Based within a PDSA host practice, Sheffield is one of our busiest clinics and consistently ranks among the top-performing sites within the region.

The clinic is supported by a fantastic team of approximately 10 vets and 10 nurses, many of whom have been with the business for a significant number of years. With veterinary surgeons typically staying between 7 and 9 years and some nurses having been part of the team for over 18 years, staff retention is exceptionally strong and reflects the supportive culture within the clinic.

The team is renowned for being close knit, collaborative and welcoming. While the clinic can be extremely busy, particularly during the summer months, colleagues work together to support one another and maintain high standards of patient care. It’s a challenging but highly rewarding environment where you’ll have exposure to a varied emergency and critical care caseload while working alongside experienced ECC professionals.

This is an excellent opportunity for a vet looking to develop their ECC skills within a well-established and respected team that people genuinely enjoy being part of.

Our commitment to your wellbeing extends beyond the diverse caseload, with a competitive benefits package which includes, but is not limited to:

• £1,500 CPD allowance plus 35 paid hours pro rata
• ECC certificate support – financial support and paid study leave
• Enhanced company sick, maternity, paternity and adoption pay schemes
• Private medical insurance
• Seven weeks pro rata annual leave
• Up to 50% discounted staff pet care
• Professional membership fees paid
