Hiring in Cambridge

What the Cambridge market looks like.

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus concentrates tertiary, cardiothoracic and research-linked services in one location, which shapes the type of specialist cover requested. Wider Cambridgeshire is rural, so Peterborough, Huntingdon and Ely assignments usually assume car travel.
