Now for work-life balance at Sheffield

Based within our PDSA host practice in Sheffield, this is a busy and rewarding ECC clinic with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality emergency and critical care. As one of the busiest clinics in the region, Sheffield offers excellent clinical exposure and the opportunity to work with a varied and challenging caseload.

The clinic is home to a close-knit and highly supportive team of around 10 vets and 10 nurses. Staff retention is exceptionally strong, with many veterinary surgeons having been with the clinic for 7–9 years and some nurses for over 18 years. The collaborative team culture is a key reason why people enjoy working here and why opportunities within the clinic don’t arise often.

While the clinic can be demanding, particularly during the busy summer months, the team works together to support one another and deliver outstanding patient care. This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet looking to develop their ECC expertise within an experienced and welcoming team environment.
