Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking for a role where you can enjoy a varied caseload, a supportive team, and a genuinely friendly working environment?
At Ely Vets for Pets, we’re looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our close-knit team of 2 Vets, 4 RVNs, and 3 Receptionists.
We’re a team who genuinely enjoy working together. Collaboration, support, and plenty of laughter are all part of everyday life here, and there’s usually chocolate in the staff room too!
Our practice combines the friendly, personal feel of a local clinic with the investment, benefits, and career opportunities that come from being part of one of the UK’s leading veterinary groups.
The Role
You’ll enjoy a varied first-opinion caseload, including routine consultations and surgery alongside the occasional emergency or more unusual case. You’ll be supported by our experienced nursing team and dedicated reception colleagues, allowing you to focus on providing excellent care to your patients and clients.
We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who:
- Is confident working within first-opinion practice
- Is comfortable with occasional sole charge
- Enjoys being part of a collaborative and supportive team
- Is passionate about providing excellent patient and client care
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a full-time opportunity with a 1 in 4 Saturday rota and no out-of-hours or overnight work.
We understand that everyone’s circumstances are different, so we’re also happy to discuss flexible working patterns that could accommodate childcare or other commitments.
A Well-Equipped Practice
Our purpose-built practice provides an excellent environment to deliver high-quality clinical care, with facilities including:
- Digital X-ray
- Dental X-ray
- New ultrasound machine
- Laser therapy
- Rhinoscope
While most of our patients are cats and dogs, we also occasionally see exotic species including lizards and rats, bringing some extra variety to the caseload.
Life in Ely
Our stand-alone practice is just a two-minute walk from Ely city centre, with its independent shops, cafés, and impressive cathedral.
If you enjoy the outdoors, you’ll find picturesque walks along the River Great Ouse and nearby nature reserves, while excellent transport links put Cambridge, Newmarket, Peterborough, and the Norfolk coast within easy reach.
It’s a fantastic location if you’re looking for a balance of city life, countryside, and easy access to the coast.
