Vet Surgeon

Now for emergency and critical care at Vets Now Peterborough

At Vets Now Peterborough, our committed team of vet surgeons, registered veterinary nurses, animal care assistants and receptionists work hard through the nights, weekends, and bank holidays to ensure sick and injured pets get the very best care when daytime vets are closed. We’re looking for a Vet Surgeon to join our team, on a full‑time basis, to provide emergency care when it’s needed the most.

This role consists of working an average of 40 hours per week across weekday nights, weekend days and nights, as well as a share of bank holidays – never working more than three night shifts in a row. We appreciate that one size doesn’t fit all and are happy to consider part‑time applicants.

Our exceptional benefits package includes, but is not limited to:

• Enhanced company sick, maternity, paternity and adoption pay schemes
• Private medical insurance
• Seven weeks pro‑rata annual leave
• Up to 50% discounted staff pet care
• Professional membership fees

Working in an emergency setting will sharpen and develop your veterinary skills. We invest heavily in the continuous professional development of all our people, and, as a Vet Surgeon you will have access to professional qualifications and our Advant Edge programme, progression opportunities, and on‑going coaching.

Our Advant Edge programme includes a one‑week hands‑on practical training, followed by 20 hours of flexible case‑based e‑learning completed at your pace. This blended approach is designed to help you start your career at Vets Now with confidence.
