At Village Vet Milton, you can join a primary care hospital that’s different!

Are you a Veterinary Surgeon seeking a unique opportunity amongst a highly experienced, successful team? If so, this rare opportunity is not to be missed.

We are one of the very few practices in Cambridgeshire accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons as a Tier 3 Hospital. Our clinical team offers a comprehensive range of veterinary services with a fully dedicated OOH team.

Why join us:

- Comprehensive Patient Care: Follow your patient's journey. At Milton, we manage our own OOH services on site, allowing you to follow your patient's case throughout their journey. This continuity of care is integral to our commitment to providing exceptional veterinary services.

- A Diverse Clinical Experience: You'll encounter an exciting range of cases that cover the full spectrum of primary care. Our practice offers the opportunity to do everything you can in primary care; from routine procedures to more advanced treatments and management. The diversity of cases keeps the work environment fast paced and engaging, providing ample opportunities to learn from our experienced veterinarians and further develop your skills.

The practice is just 20-minute walk (5-minute drive) from Cambridge North train station, making it easily accessible for those commuting or exploring the area. There is also plenty of parking spaces on site.

The Role

This dynamic and exciting role will include consulting, surgery and hospital days. You will work closely with our existing team, including our OOH team, vet24, to provide around the clock care of an outstanding standard for a primary care practice. We have medicine and ECC certificate holders, and a reputation for excellent diagnostic imaging. We are well equipped to perform routine and ECC surgery and have also established a laparoscopic spay service over the last year. We have vets working towards surgery and cardiology certificates and work very much on an evidenced-based, continuing learning approach as a team.
