Are you an experienced veterinary surgeon seeking the thrill of Emergency and Critical Care (ECC), coupled with the rewarding knowledge that you are truly making a difference?

At Animal Trust, our vision is to provide accessible and affordable veterinary treatment to our clients, and this commitment doesn't end when the day does. Our Ellesmere Port clinic operates a 24-hour service, ensuring dedicated care for our patients around the clock. All prices for our inpatient and outpatient services remain the same no matter what time of day.

Throughout the night, you'll encounter a diverse range of cases while overseeing our inpatient service. Our well-equipped facility boasts a fully staffed, experienced night nursing team for support throughout your shift. Our site is equipped with diagnostic tools, including ultrasound, radiography and CT, and a standard shift runs from 1830 – 0730. At Animal Trust, we take pride in our team's expertise, with certificate holders in Surgery, Internal Medicine and Ophthalmology.

Night work offers flexibility and we are open to discussing rota options to suit your commitments outside of work. We operate a 24-hour service from three of our hospitals, providing a collaborative environment where vets can consult with one another regarding cases.
