Vets Now is the UK's leading provider of emergency veterinary care, with a nationwide network of out of hours clinics and 24/7 emergency hospitals. As part of Inspiring Vet Care, our teams make a difference to pets and their owners when they need us most.

At Vets Now, we believe that when your purpose is to make a difference, you deserve a team that shares your passion.

Combining a lively city culture with affordable living, Sheffield also has a rich industrial history, a legendary music scene (home to Pulp and Arctic Monkeys), and a thriving independent food and drink culture.

Lead with Clinical Excellence

• Driving and upholding clinical standards across the clinic
• Supporting the growth, training and wellbeing of your veterinary team
• Identifying clinical development opportunities and shaping team progression
• Championing innovation and service improvement within the clinic
• This is more than a job. This is a vital leadership role with real impact where your guidance helps shape the future of ECC, while making a difference to patients, clients, and colleagues every day.

Work-Life Balance That Works for You

This full-time role averages 40 hours per week, including:

• Weekday nights and 1:2 weekends (mix of nights and days)
• Night shifts 1800-0900, Saturday day 1200-1830 and Sunday day 0830-1830
• Shared bank holidays
• No more than three consecutive nights
• Protected time for leadership duties and meetings

We understand that life outside of work matters too. That's why we offer flexibility and can explore part-time arrangements, depending on clinic requirements because your balance is our priority.

Rewarding Work, Your Way

We look after you, so you can look after them, by offering a highly competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Seven weeks' pro rata annual leave

Collaborative Spirit

You're never alone at Vets Now: on-shift you'll work alongside a registered vet nurse, an animal care assistant and a receptionist, and you can contact any of our clinics or referral centers across the UK at anytime, day or night, if needing to discuss a particular case or share ideas.

You'll also be supported by our Support Office in Dunfermline, where our teams work behind the scenes to help you thrive. Our Call Handlers and Customer Care Advisors ensure you can focus on what matters most - your patients.
