Labcorp is searching for a Clinical Veterinarian II to join their team in Huntingdon, UK.
Are you looking for a new way to use your veterinary skills? We are a team of 6 vets and one vet nurse working in preclinical contract research, seeking to replace a team member who recently emigrated. We are looking for someone confident in basic veterinary consultations and surgery (any species), who we can train in lab-specific veterinary medicine.

Our work in the UK is conducted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 2012 to ensure the efficacy and safety of new drugs, medical devices and other chemicals for human and animal use.
The Huntingdon site is the second-largest preclinical site in the UK, caring for multiple species with an onsite gym and a focus on personal well-being. It is located between Cambridge and Peterborough and is about an hour from London. This location offers growth opportunities for any veterinarian.
