Night Vet – Emergency & Critical Care
North London | 7-on, 14-off | Up to £80k

Love ECC but don’t want to sacrifice your work-life balance? This opportunity could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

We’re working with a busy, well-equipped 24-hour veterinary hospital in North London that’s looking for a confident and committed Night Veterinary Surgeon to join their experienced night team. With an impressive caseload and full ECC support, this is the perfect environment for someone who enjoys the buzz of emergency work and wants to develop further in this space.

Why This Role Stands Out for ECC Vets:

  • Dedicated ECC caseload with strong clinical support

  • Fully funded ECC certificate opportunities

  • 7-on, 14-off pattern – that’s over 230 days off a year

  • Great clinical freedom and autonomy on nights

The Role:
You’ll be the lead vet overnight, managing emergency consults and critical inpatients. The team pride themselves on delivering high standards of care with genuine compassion, and you'll be supported by a dedicated nursing team. Strong handover protocols and a collaborative approach ensure patient care is seamless across shifts.

What’s on Offer:

  • Salary up to £80,000

  • 5 weeks holiday plus bank holidays

  • CPD budget of £1,500 + 3 CPD days

  • Paid RCVS, VDS & BVA memberships

  • Sabbatical leave based on service

  • Life assurance

  • Relocation support if needed

  • Tier 2 visa sponsorship available

  • Staff discounts on veterinary care

They’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys ECC work, brings great communication skills, and thrives in a night role where clinical decisions are in your hands. If that sounds like you – let’s talk.

Referrals welcome too – if we place someone you recommend, you’ll receive £200 in vouchers as a thank you.

All enquiries are treated in the strictest confidence.
