This is an exciting opportunity to take the lead on a growing orthopaedic and soft tissue caseload within a modern, progressive hospital environment.

About the Location and Practice

Based in the scenic Cambridgeshire area, this Tier-3 hospital provides 24-hour veterinary care and operates as a central hub for its surrounding practices. The site features two fully equipped operating theatres and has recently undergone refurbishment, creating a bright and welcoming environment for both patients and team members.

The hospital is supported by a dedicated team of over 20 veterinary surgeons, including certificate holders across multiple disciplines such as medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology, ECC, and diagnostic imaging.
