Night Veterinary Surgeon

As we move forward with our plans to transform the Barnsley clinic into a 24/7 hospital, we are seeking an experienced veterinary surgeon to join our A+E service during the night.

Working alongside a qualified registered veterinary nurse, you will handle a diverse range of surgical and medical ECC cases while overseeing our inpatient service. We operate a 24-hour service from three other hospitals, so working nights at Animal Trust ensures you are never alone, providing a collaborative environment where vets can always consult with one another regarding cases. 

About animal Trust

Animal Trust stands out from other veterinary services. Firstly, we are a unique Community Interest Company, being the only veterinary CIC in the UK to date. Our primary focus isn't solely on maximising profits; instead, we are dedicated to delivering on our mission and ensuring enough profit to sustain our business in the long term.

Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations (£79 OOH charge) and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need
