About us:

We’re proud to operate across three thriving branches - March, Wisbech, and Peterborough - all striving to deliver outstanding care to every patient, every time.

Our dedicated team consists of 8/9 Vets, supported by 6 RVN’s, 3 SVN’s, 1 VCA and a dedicated reception team. We have a fantastic support network and work together to provide the best possible care for our patients and clients.

We’re a close‑knit team who understand that veterinary work can be challenging, so supporting each other is really important to us. We celebrate our successes, encourage each other and make time to enjoy being part of the team.

Why Nene:

Our team thrives in a supportive, sociable and collaborative environment where every voice counts. We value open communication, clinical discussion and helping each other out.

We have a Nene Vets Team Charter which reflects the way we want to work together. Our values include:

• Respect and kindness – Be kind to ourselves and to others and look after our own wellbeing.
• Fairness and honesty – Treat colleagues, clients and patients fairly and honestly.
• Integrity - Act in the way you would wish to be treated, even when no one is watching.
• Teamwork - Support and encourage each other, celebrating successes and helping one another through difficult times.
• Compassion - Consider other people’s perspectives and remain positive and supportive.
• Respect for differences – Everyone has their own experiences and challenges, and all opinions should be respected.
• Accountability – Take responsibility for our actions, communication and patient care.
• Growth and development – Continue to learn, develop skills and strive to reach your full potential.
• Wellbeing – Take time to recharge and look after yourself.
• Enjoy your work – Find positivity in each day and help create a supportive and enjoyable workplace.

We’re looking for someone who shares these values and will be a great fit for our practice. Ideally, you’ll be flexible and progressive, a good communicator, a team player and broad‑minded, with a genuine enjoyment of interacting with clients and the wider public.

If you’re someone who is looking to develop your career and would be interested in taking on additional leadership responsibilities, there is scope for a more senior/lead position for the right candidate.

Equally, if you’re simply looking for a friendly practice where you can concentrate on being a great Veterinary Surgeon while being well supported by your colleagues, we’d love to hear from you.
