Job description

Up to £65K DOE | £5K Relocation | No OOH | Full or Part Time | Brand New Clinic

Fresh Start Energy: Activated

At White Cross Vets ,2025 is a big year for us - we’re opening a brand-new, fully fitted-out clinic in Stanningley, and we’re looking for a Vet who wants to build something meaningful from the ground up.

It’s got that new clinic smell, a sparkling new dental suite, two theatres, an imaging suite, and a team who are buzzing to bring it all to life. You’ll be helping shape the whole vibe from Day One.

Who’s on the squad?

*Our Senior Vet is ECC-focused, with a passion for intensive care and abdominal ultrasound

*Our Clinic Director holds a certificate in surgery and is obsessed (in a good way) with soft tissue and orthopaedics

*You’ll be supported by a brilliant new Practice Manager - think logistics wizard meets team cheerleader. We also have our Practice Director who is an accredited coach ready to support day and night with mindset and personal development

*You’ll be backed by the best people team in the game - a local, hands-on people team, and who know your name, your face and your coffee order

What’s in it for you?

*No OOH - ever

*1 in 4 Saturday mornings, just until 12:30

*Flexible rota - full time, part time, job share, 4-day week? Let’s make it work

*Up to £65K DOE + £5K relocation

*Daily admin time protected - no catching up at 6pm

*15-minute consults (30 mins for more complex ones)

Love surgery? Brilliant. Obsessed with medicine? Great. Consult-only? Totally fine. We’ll tailor your week to what you love most - and help you grow from there.

Kit & Clinic Vibe

This might not be purpose-built, but it’s brand-new and beautifully fitted out. The equipment’s top-notch. The walls are fresh. The team is handpicked. It’s got that perfect blend of shiny-new and full-of-heart.

*2 Theatres

*Dental suite with dental x-ray

*Imaging suite

*Laparoscopic kit

*Ultrasound

*4 consult rooms

*Great parking

*Short drive to Leeds city centre, or the moors if you’re more into muddy boots than cocktails

You won’t be doing this alone

Join White Cross and you’re instantly part of a tight, local network of brilliant humans across Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Doncaster. Want to shadow a dentist? Chat imaging? Refine your medicine skills? Our local cert holders in ECC, surgery, dentistry, imaging and medicine are happy to support - we’re always learning from each other.

This is your moment

This is a rare chance to join a team from the very beginning - a bunch of good people building a great clinic.
