Looking for a practice where teamwork actually means something? Join Ely Companion Care, where the chocolate is plentiful, the support is genuine, and out-of-hours is a thing of the past.
1 in 4 Saturdays required; no out-of-hours or overnight on-call cover.
You'll be joining a close-knit team of 2 vets, 4 RVNs, 2 receptionists, and a dedicated practice manager at Ely Companion Care. This full-time role includes 1 in 4 Saturdays but offers a rare perk for small animal practice: no out-of-hours cover. The team values collaboration and genuine support, with a caseload that balances routine consultations, surgery, and the occasional emergency or unusual case.
Located in the historic city of Ely, just a two-minute walk from the city centre, the practice sits in a community rich with charming shops, cafés, and stunning cathedral views. For those who enjoy the outdoors, scenic walks along the River Great Ouse and nearby nature reserves are on your doorstep. Excellent transport links mean Cambridge, Newmarket, Peterborough, and the Norfolk coast are all easily accessible. Flexibility around shift patterns is available to accommodate childcare or other commitments.
Ely Companion Care is an independent practice with the warm, community feel that attracts vets seeking genuine teamwork and support. While benefiting from the resources of a wider veterinary group, the practice maintains its close-knit culture and inclusive approach to working life.
The practice is well-equipped with digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound, laser therapy, and rhinoscope. The team regularly treats cats, dogs, and exotic species, providing a varied clinical experience. The practice emphasises inclusion and diversity, encouraging colleagues to bring their whole selves to work.
