Job description

Welcome to White Cross Vets Balby, where our cases are as interesting as our team is supportive. From complex procedures to quirky emergencies, no two days are the same – and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

About The Role

We currently have 20 hours per week available for this position. However, we’re open to discussion—whether you’re looking for fewer hours or a specific working pattern, we’d love to hear from you.

This role offers true clinical freedom, a supportive and friendly team, and plenty of opportunity for personal and professional growth.

Why Join White Cross?

When you join White Cross, you're becoming part of a growing group of practices across Yorkshire, with a new site opening this September. Our structure means you’ll have access to peer support, mentorship, and the chance to shadow specialists across the region.

You'll also be supported by a dedicated People Team based at our Head Office in Leeds—you’ll know their names, and they’ll know yours. Locally, our Practice Director, an internationally accredited coach and mentor, is committed to helping you grow in whatever direction you choose—be it clinical, leadership, or confidence-building.

Meet the Team

Our current Balby team includes:

• 4 experienced vets with a wide range of special interests
• 7 Registered Veterinary Nurses, holding certificates in Anaesthesia, ECC, Behaviour, and Physiotherapy
• 1 SVN and 1 VCA
• A supportive Clinical Lead Nurse and Head Nurse, passionate about high-quality care and positive culture
• A warm, efficient front-of-house team that keeps everything running smoothly

We’re a training practice for SVNs, with a strong focus on teaching and mentoring. While we take our work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously—team wellbeing is a big priority. From crafts in consults to BB gun target practice in the car park, we believe fun and wellbeing go hand in hand.

Our Facilities

We are proud of our well-equipped and modern practice, designed to support a wide range of clinical cases. Our facilities include a fully equipped surgical suite, a dedicated dental suite complete with dental x-ray, and both digital x-ray and high-quality ultrasound capabilities. We also have an in-house laboratory and an HT Vista mass scanner for efficient diagnostics. The practice features four consult rooms, a dual-station prep area, and a dedicated isolation room. As a cat-friendly clinic, we offer a separate waiting area for feline patients to reduce stress. Conveniently located just five minutes from the A1, we also provide on-site parking and are within easy reach of Doncaster and Sheffield—perfect for unwinding after a busy shift.
