About the team
We are well supported by a team of 3 experienced RVNs, a very experienced SVN, and a fantastic VCA, moving into an SVN role later this year. Our front of house team of 3 are second to none and have a fantastic relationship with our clients and still somehow manage to keep all the Vets and nurses organised! As a team we like to work to very high standards of care for pets and clients, with 15 minute routine consultations, 30 minutes for more complex cases. We are passionate about teaching and enjoy being a training practice for SVN placements. Despite all the hard work and passion for pets we still find time for team building every month with our Wellbeing days we run in clinic, everything from arts and crafts to turning the prep room into a cinema.
Don’t take our word for it here is what one of our team has to say:
‘Working at White Cross Vets Sheffield is a great position, the caseload is varied and clients are friendly and committed. There is a very high % of insured pets resulting in an excellent standard of care for pets and good job satisfaction. The group chat we have between the Sheffield and Doncaster branch vets is really useful for bouncing ideas around for tricky cases, having certificate holders in multiple fields is really helpful! The tools and toys we have available are excellent, the HT vista scanner and the Imagyst are excellent resources to assist in the role. Most importantly the team are friendly, supportive and fun to work with! The Wellbeing afternoons are always fun and relaxed and give an opportunity in clinic for some downtime and team building!’ - Rebecca Verity, Clinical Director
Location
The practice is 15 minutes from the center of Sheffield with excellent transport links from the A1, M1, and M180. We are also located on a bus route to and from Sheffield.

Surgical suite, dental x-ray, fully equipped in-house lab, digital x-ray, high quality ultrasound scanner, HT vista mass scanner, Imagyst cytology, 4 consulting rooms, dual stationed prep room, spacious car park and a very handy shop next door (we never run out of milk!). Happy to support further development of vets, ie certificates. In general, vets would be consulting for 2 days out of 4 with a surgery day and a ‘2nd ops’ shift day, though happy to support the applicant’s passions and interests and tailor the role to them, interests such as medicine, surgery, dentistry, teaching etc. Admin time is provided each day for catch up on clinical notes, reporting of lab results, phoning clients, repeat prescriptions etc or just time to research and plan cases.
