Veterinary Neurologist (Specialist or Residency-trained)
Starting part-time, 3-day week (0.75 FTE) · 1:4 weekends · Linton, just outside Cambridge
Signalment:
One neurologist. Specialist or residency-trained. Any breed, any age. Must enjoy a good localisation.
History: chronic and progressive (in a good way). Granta Veterinary Specialists opened in April 2024 as an independent, vet-owned, multidisciplinary referral hospital. We started with a newly repurposed building, a strong vision and a tagline we meant: every effort made, every care taken. In our first two years, we saw more than 4,500 patients. We're still growing, and we want to keep giving excellent experience to every patient entrusted to our care. So we're looking for a fourth neurologist to join the team.
Neurological examination: no deficits detected
- Mental status: bright, alert and well-rested. You'll work three days a week (0.75 FTE), with the option to increase in future.
- Behaviour: tip-top. Everyone here talks to each other. Neuro, surgery, medicine, oncology, ophthalmology, cardiology, anaesthesia and dermatology (!) all work from the same office and high-five about the same cases.
- Reflexes and reactions: well supported. You're on call 1 weekend in 4, shared evenly, with the support of on-site out-of-hours vets overnight and at weekends.
- Nociception: expertly managed. Our anaesthesia team is Specialist-led, with next-level anaesthesia nurses. Think opioid-free spinal surgery, with ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and interventional pain management as standard.
Neuroanatomical localisation: Linton, Cambridgeshire. Cambridge is on the doorstep, the countryside is out of the back door, and London is an easy drive or train ride away.
Diagnostic plan: already approved
- Philips 1.5T BlueSeal MRI and Philips 64-slice Incisive CT on site, run by radiographers, with board-certified imagers down the corridor.
- Full Cadwell electrodiagnostic set-up, with EEG coming soon.
- Invetra polyaxial screw-rod fixation system, as well as alternatives
Differential diagnoses (who you might be)
- An RCVS or EBVS Specialist who wants more medicine and less management.
- A recently finished resident who wants to keep learning alongside colleagues who remember exactly what boards felt like.
- Either way, someone who's generous with their knowledge, happy to pick up the phone to a referring vet, and who takes the patients seriously but not themselves.
Contraindications: None, as long as you have the right to live and work in the UK.
Treatment plan: multimodal
- Competitive salary
- CPD leave and funding
- Pension and private healthcare
- Relocation support if you're moving to the area
Interested? For an informal chat, or to apply, email Max Foreman at max.foreman@grantavets.co.uk.
