Be part of the provision of an out-of-hour veterinarian service.

Essential for the Role:

Experience in laboratory animal surgery and post-operative care.
Knowledge of laboratory animal welfare regulations and guidelines.
Strong leadership and team-building skills with excellent communication and inter-personal skills.
Ability to work well with researchers, animal care staff, and other collaborators to gain and share knowledge, learn and instruct new techniques, and drive innovation.

Desirable for the Role:


Previous experience in a laboratory animal science setting in a veterinary role.
Experience of working in AAALAC-accredited animal facilities.
Hands-on experience with surgery and post-operative care on laboratory pigs.
Knowledge of animal models within AstraZeneca's core therapeutic areas.

So, What's Next?
Are you already envisioning yourself joining our team? Good, because we can't wait to hear from you, although no later than 31 July 2023.
Please include your CV and a cover letter explaining your motivations and how you meet the criteria for the position advertised.
During the advertising period, we will be on annual leave, so please expect some delay.
Our ambition is to start reviewing applications the first week of August.
AstraZeneca embraces diversity and equality of opportunity.
We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse team representing all backgrounds, with as wide a range of perspectives as possible, and harnessing industry-leading skills.
We believe that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
