Peterborough 165 and 290 Weekend Veterinary Surgeon – Consult only
We’re looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our supportive and experienced team to cover a minimum of 1:4 weekends at Peterborough Bretton Vets for Pets.
We pride ourselves on a strong team spirit and genuine care for pets and their owners are at the heart of everything we do.

Peterborough offers the perfect balance between vibrant city living and access to stunning natural surroundings. With its excellent transport links — including a direct train to London in under an hour — it’s an ideal base for professionals seeking affordability without sacrificing connectivity.
Beyond work, Peterborough boasts rich history, beautiful green spaces like Ferry Meadows, and a welcoming, diverse community. Whether you're drawn to its historic cathedral, the thriving independent food scene, or the family-friendly lifestyle, Peterborough is a place where you can grow your career and enjoy life outside of work too.
About us At Peterborough Vets for Pets, we have a team of 7 Vets, 6 Registered Nurses, 3 Student Nurses and an incredible administrative support team.
Between our Vets we hold a Certificate in Internal Medicine, Certificate in Cardiology and one currently doing a Certificate in Ultrasonography. We also offer acupuncture and physiotherapy.
