Vet Eye Care is an independent Veterinary Ophthalmology clinic, located in Cambridgeshire (Yaxley).

The successful candidate will be working alongside our team of one Ophthalmology Specialist (DipECVO), one ECVO-board eligible clinician, one ECVO-resident, four registered vet nurses, one patient care assistant, our receptionists and practice manager to help with the day-to-day workflow and case management. The successful candidate is expected to work a 36-hour week with 1:4 week and weekend on-call. The position benefits from private health and dental insurance, 25-days holiday (plus bank holidays), birthday leave, covered professional fees (RCVS, specialty college and VDS fees) and a generous CPD allowance of £5,000. The salary will reflect the candidates experience (up to £120,000). Relocation costs can be covered upon mutual agreement.
