Job Description

Registered Veterinary Nurse - Small Animal
White Cross Vets, Handsworth, Sheffield, Yorkshire & The Humber
Discipline: Small Animal
Full Time
Up to 30,000 per annum DOE

We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our wonderful White Cross Vets team in Sheffield.

In this role, you'll be involved in a wide range of general practice duties. You will assist with theatre and surgical procedures, carry out radiography and dental x-rays, and provide general nursing care. You will also be responsible for nurse consultations, managing the dispensary, and handling some administrative tasks.

About the Practice

White Cross Vets operates 21 clinics across the UK, each with teams that have various interests and specialisations. Our team members are encouraged to further their training through certificates, and some have achieved certificate status. Being part of a larger group provides excellent support, promoting growth, high-quality first opinion care, and internal career progression opportunities.

Located just 15 minutes from Sheffield city center, we have excellent transport links from the A1, M1, and M180, as well as a bus route to and from the city. Our fully-equipped practice boasts a surgical suite, dental x-ray, in-house lab, digital x-ray, high-quality ultrasound scanner, HT Vista mass scanner, Imagyst cytology, 4 consulting rooms, a dual-stationed prep room, a spacious car park, and even a handy shop next door.

Join a Supportive Team

You'll be well-supported by a fantastic team, including 3 experienced RVNs, 3.5 FTE Veterinary Surgeons, a SVN, and a VCA who will be moving into an SVN role later this year. Our front-of-house team of 3 is second to none, maintaining strong relationships with clients while keeping the team organised! As a practice, we work to high standards of care, offering 15-minute routine consultations and 30-minute slots for more complex cases. We're passionate about training and are proud to be a practice that supports SVN placements.

Despite our hard work and dedication to the pets we care for, we always make time for team-building and wellbeing, holding regular Wellbeing Days where we enjoy everything from arts and crafts to turning the prep room into a cinema!

What Our Team Think

Here's what one of our team members has to say: "Working at White Cross Vets Sheffield is a great role with a varied caseload and friendly, committed clients. The high percentage of insured pets allows us to provide an excellent standard of care, and the team chat with the Doncaster branch is really helpful for sharing ideas on tricky cases. With amazing resources like the HT Vista scanner and Imagyst, the tools we have really support our role. The team is incredibly friendly and supportive, and the Wellbeing afternoons provide a great chance to relax and bond as a team!" - Rebecca Verity, Clinical Director.

Working Hours

This is a full-time position offering 37.5 hours per week, though we are also open to applications from those seeking part-time or more flexible hours. While participation in the Saturday rota is required, there are no out-of-hours duties.
