Ready to take your veterinary career beyond the clinic? Join a team where your passion for animal care meets scientific progress. This is a unique opportunity for a veterinarian to apply their expertise in a setting dedicated to improving animal welfare and advancing human and veterinary medicine.


Working as part of a collaborative group of veterinary professionals and dedicated support staff, you'll play a vital role in ensuring high standards of animal care across a diverse range of species. You'll be based at a leading-edge research facility, where your clinical skills will support ethically grounded, welfare-focused programs.

  • Deliver expert clinical care and case management, including anaesthesia, surgery, and ophthalmology
  • Provide advice and guidance on animal welfare, contributing to internal ethical review processes
  • Engage with multidisciplinary teams, regulatory bodies, and clients to ensure compliance and excellence in veterinary care
  • Support and potentially lead specialist research, with opportunities to publish and present work


What We're Looking For

  • Eligibility for membership of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS)
  • Strong clinical foundation in medicine and surgery, with interest in developing skills across a variety of species
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • Prior experience in laboratory animal medicine is an advantage, but full training will be provided
  • Willingness to participate in an out-of-hours on-call rota (non-onerous)



Step out of the ordinary and into a veterinary role with impact. Apply your skills where they help shape the future of medicine, for both humans and animals.
