Calling New Graduates

At YourVets Sheldon (Birmingham) we are a busy SA practice, fast paced with a very varied caseload. We are looking for a new graduate to join our team.

We have vets with a range of interests such as imaging and exotics, and vets studying for medicine and surgery certs.

We also have visiting surgery cert holders coming to do more advanced soft tissue surgeries and orthopaedics and have all the usual kit including a shiny new ultrasound machine and dental x-ray pending.


We enjoy a good work life balance here with a 4-day week and 1 in 3 Saturdays, no OOH We get an extra day off each month which gives us a 4-day weekend.

Opportunity of overtime at some of our branches if you would be interested, including OOH. We have an EMS programme so the whole team are used to supporting learning.

We currently have two vet GDP advisors who are passionate about supporting the growth of the next generation of vets.


We are known for our team spirits, strong team retention and a wide range of knowledge and experience on board.

We are passionate about the patients and clients we care for.

Head Vet testimonial:

In my personal experience, I first came to YourVets Sheldon as a final year vet student and really enjoyed working with the team and the exposure to a wide and varied case load.

I started as a new grad and it was one of the best learning curves I could have experienced, I was exposed to so much and supported by a fantastic and strong team.

I love working here and have gone from final year vet student, to being Head Vet for maternity cover and studying for my surgical post graduate certificate all in the space of a few years

Feedback from our most recent EMS students:

Highly recommend this practice I came for EMS last month and they're super supportive with interesting caseloads all the time.

The team are all extremely welcoming and friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them

I thoroughly enjoyed the work culture at YourVets. Everyone works well as a team and supports each other.
