Cambridge Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Labcorp Full time

Are you looking for a new way to use your veterinary skills?
We are a team of 6 six vets and one vet nurse working in preclinical contract research, looking to replace a team member who recently emigrated to somewhere warmer 5/6 of us had never worked in research before joining Labcorp so no experience in lab animal work is required. What we are looking for is someone confident in basic veterinary consultations and surgery (any species), who we can then train in lab specific veterinary medicine. Of course, if you do have lab animal experience, that’s even better, but it is not essential
The role offers a relocation package and sign on bonus (subject to criteria); competitive salary; a shared, quiet on-call rota; generous pension contributions; optional private health insurance; Continued Professional Development allowance and paid for professional memberships; plus other perks like an on-site gym and cycle to work schemes. Training on lab animal specific techniques and legislation is provided in-house and via external accredited courses. Our research is performed under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 2012 and is to ensure the efficacy and safety of new drugs, medical devices and other chemicals for human and animal use.
With an onsite gym we make sure to keep your personal well-being in mind Treat sick and injured animals. Just because an animal lives in a laboratory doesn’t mean they avoid broken nails, ear infections or the odd bite or scrape from over enthusiastic playtime.
Advise scientific staff. Got a weird, specific question about the blood supply of a rat or the physiology of a dog’s kidney? Teach animal technicians. Our staff are highly trained, dedicated professionals, and who better to teach them about animal care and health than a vet?
Imports, exports, quarantine paperwork – all get handled by the veterinary surgeon.
All scientific work in the UK is guided by the 3 Rs – replace, reduce, refine. As lab vets, we work to implement these policies.
Perform scientific procedures e.g. ophthalmology or surgery. As vets, we have knowledge of anatomy, anaesthesia, aseptic surgical technique and analgesia etc and so can ensure procedures are performed in the most refined manner.
Education Required
~ Veterinary degree and membership with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Significant demonstrable experience in Veterinary clinical experience preferred.
Knowledge of small and large animals used in research.
Must be able to work in a laboratory setting with laboratory animals.
