Ready to join a progressive hospital-led team with zero routine OOH for day vets? Cromwell Vets offers a supportive clinical environment with real work-life balance, a 26-vet team across five branches, and the chance to develop across multiple disciplines.
1 in 4 weekends (Saturday and Sunday). No routine overnight OOH for day vets; dedicated twilight and night team in place.
This is a fixed-term opportunity (approximately 9 months) for a small animal veterinary surgeon to join Cromwell Veterinary Hospital, a busy, progressive hospital-led practice in Huntingdon. You'll work with a large caseload in a supportive environment where clinical standards are driven by collaboration, experience, and continuous learning. The role offers a mix of hospital-based work at the Huntingdon site alongside branch exposure, including sole charge work across the local branch network.
Cromwell Vets has a dedicated twilight and night team in place, meaning day clinicians benefit from strong continuity of care without routine out-of-hours demands. The position is flexible on hours (part-time or full-time considered, with full-time as 4 x 9-hour days) and includes 1 in 4 weekend cover (Saturday and Sunday) with no overnight OOH.
Huntingdon and the wider Cambridgeshire area combine easy access to Cambridge city (around 20-30 minutes away) with rural surroundings and market town living. The area is well connected via major road and rail links, offering a balance of affordable living, green space, and quick access to both city culture and countryside.
Cromwell Vets is a large, well-established RCVS hospital in Huntingdon supported by a network of five branch practices across the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. The hospital is fully equipped to manage a wide and complex caseload in-house, including digital radiography, advanced ultrasound suite (with echocardiography), video-endoscopy (gastroscopy, bronchoscopy, and rigid endoscopy), laparoscopy, dental radiography, and multi-parameter anaesthetic monitoring.
The clinical team is highly experienced and genuinely multidisciplinary, with multiple certificate holders and advanced practitioners across medicine, surgery, emergency and critical care, imaging, and other key disciplines. The practice holds Gold ISFM Cat Friendly accreditation with dedicated feline facilities, and Silver Investors in the Environment accreditation reflecting sustainability commitment. Cromwell Vets is part of Linnaeus and Mars Veterinary Health, the largest family-owned veterinary company in the world. The group comprises over 6,000 Associates supported by access to a huge network of specialists, worldwide development opportunities, and comprehensive wellbeing support.
