Ready for something new? We’d love to welcome you into a team that’s supportive, ambitious… and very Yorkshire.


A bit about us

We’re a 3.5-vet team led by a Clinical Director with a Small Animal Surgery certificate, alongside our fantastic senior vet .

Backing us is a Practice Director who is also an internationally accredited coach and leadership mentor. So support here isn’t just a word - it’s built into how we work every day.

We work closely with our Doncaster site, home to certificate holders in Internal Medicine and Dentistry. You’ll also have access to our wider White Cross network across Leeds and Bradford, where you can learn from vets with certificates in ECC, Medicine and Imaging.

And behind the scenes? Our Central Support Team in Leeds handles HR, finance and ops - so you can focus on being a vet.


The week in a nutshell

  • 40 hours over 4 days
  • Saturdays on a rota (with TOIL back)
  • No OOH (yes, really)
  • 15-minute consults (30 mins where it counts)
  • Admin time actually built into your day
  • A mix of consults, ops and second ops - flexed around what you enjoy

Your kind of people

  • 3.5 passionate RVN's plus a student Nurse - kind, capable and clinically sharp
  • A very strong VCA
  • A genuinely brilliant reception team who keep everything running

It’s a warm, welcoming place. Monthly wellbeing afternoons, team lunches, and occasionally turning prep into a cinema.

We also run Lola’s peer recognition scheme - because noticing each other matters.

There’s even an out-of-hours wellbeing helpline just for our teams, for those moments when life feels a bit much.

This is a practice where standards are high, expectations are realistic, and people who actually look out for each other.


CPD that actually works

  • £1,250 CPD allowance + 40 hours paid CPD leave
  • Certificate funding with flexibility to make it achievable
  • Weekly time protected for case follow-up and development
  • Access to Vetlexicon, IVC Academy and a £1,250 Care Fund
  • Shadowing across Doncaster, Leeds and Bradford

Location

We’re 5 minutes off Sheffield Parkway, 10 minutes from the M1, and 15 minutes from the city centre.

There’s also a shop next door… so biscuits are never an issue.
