Maternity Cover Veterinary Surgeon
Huntingdon Vets for Pets
Are you a vet looking for a flexible, progressive, supportive work environment? A practice where patient care and welfare is a priority? Do you want the benefits of working for a major employer but the personal touch and clinical freedom of an independent practice?
Vets for Pets Huntingdon is a locally owned practice and we are looking for a veterinary surgeon to join our inclusive, forward thinking team on a 1year FTC Maternity cover starting March/April time. There is also the possibility to stay on after the end of contract.
A bit more about us
We’re a busy first opinion veterinary practice who pride ourselves on providing the best care possible to each individual patient.
Our practice is owned by three JVPs, Vet Sandy and RVNs Leanne and Amy. Our core members of our team have been with us a number of years creating a friendly, close-knit feeling to our practice. The team comprises of supportive experienced vets and a very competent new grad, with a strong RVN to vet ratio, 1 VCA and a dedicated reception team. Our nurses pick up schedule three procedures and consults allowing our vets to concentrate on their cases and work-ups.
We often welcome a visiting orthopaedic surgeon and cardiologist. This, and the fact we have a high rate of insured clients, means we keep a lot of our work-ups in house. Where we do refer we have multiple well renowned clinics in the area to choose from. There will be a small amount of charge (some evenings/Saturday’s) but Sandy is always on the end of the phone should you need advice on a case. Our OOH provider, Village Vets are also really helpful in providing advice and support when it comes to refer cases overnight or at the weekend.
We’re based in a great spot for commuting with London and Cambridge both easily accessible via public transport and the A14/A1 if travelling by road.
