Equine Vet Wanted – Join Our Fun, Independent, and Growing Team!
Hird & Partners Sheffield Equine Clinic is an independently owned equine practice with a big heart, a supportive team, and exciting growth ahead — and we’re looking for a friendly, motivated vet to join us!
We’re expanding our existing veterinary team to eight vets as our client base and facilities continue to grow. This is a predominantly ambulatory role with one clinic day each week alongside our experienced senior vets.
The rota is 4.5 days per week, with on-call shared equally (1 in 7). We proudly provide our own out-of-hours service, as we believe it’s vital that our clients and their horses are cared for by a familiar, trusted team during stressful emergency situations. You’ll enjoy a long weekend after your on-call and the same afternoon off each week – because we believe balance makes better vets.
We’re (currently) based just off J33 of the M1 near Sheffield, ideally placed for South & West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Peak District. Our caseload is wonderfully varied — from beloved pleasure horses to top competition clients — keeping every day rewarding and different.
Our clinic is well equipped for lameness, repro, and performance investigations, with digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy/gastroscopy, and in-house blood machines. We work closely with our Shelf Equine Hospital for referrals, surgery, MRI, and CT, and have a visiting equine dentist providing both routine and advanced dental work.
And here’s the exciting bit — we have a brand-new premises on the horizon and only a stone’s throw away from our current location! This next chapter brings fresh facilities, more space, and new opportunities to grow within an independent team that values your ideas and individuality.
You’ll be joining a young, dynamic, and close-knit team – from new grads to senior partners – supported by brilliant nurses and admin staff. Each vet is paired with a member of our reception team for diary and admin support, ensuring your days run smoothly.
As an independent practice, we’re free to focus on what truly matters: great medicine, happy horses, and a supportive, collaborative workplace. We actively encourage professional development and special interests, with regular case discussions and vet meetings.
Whether you’re a new graduate or an experienced vet ready for something fresh, we’d love to hear from you.
