Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Practice (LCVP) (Equine)

Are you an experienced clinician who wishes to diversify into education?

Collegial; Passionate; Creative; Supportive; Inspiring. These are the five values of our Intramural Rotation Team here at Surrey Vet School. If you associate with these values and are interested in partnering with the profession to deliver innovative clinical veterinary education and, then we have an opening for an additional full time LCVP within the equine section of our team.

At the School of Veterinary Medicine, we have successfully established a high-quality network of clinical practices to deliver a fully distributed model of workplace based clinical education. By extensively partnering with the profession, we have developed an authentic, relevant, and student-centred approach to clinical veterinary education.

The role

Integral to this model are the Lecturers in Veterinary Clinical Practice (LVCPs) (Equine), our team of clinical tutors who provide oversight of individual development and evaluation of final year students toward attainment of day-one competences and support practice-based trained clinical mentors in the delivery of our Intramural Rotation (IMR) module. This is achieved through regular and frequent practice visits to meet with clinical mentors and through the provision of one-to-one feedback and coaching of students.  As well as overseeing the successful development of the students’ portfolio, the LVCP team also play a key role in the assessment of final year students, and act to remediate where necessary.  

This position would suit someone with experience in equine practice but additional experience working with other species would be advantageous. We are looking for someone with an intuitive passion for teaching. Prior academic experience is not a prerequisite, but some teaching experience would be an advantage.  

Due to the nature of the role and the geographical locale of our partner practices, this post would ideally suit some-one based in the South West of England, however strong candidates from other locations will be considered. There will be a requirement to come to Guildford to teach, for teacher training and other activities. Time outside of this the role will be split between working from home and practice visits with renumeration. There may be an occasional requirement for overnight stay depending on location.

These roles support flexible working and include substantial holiday allowance (up to 9 weeks), opportunities to follow your own research interests and a generous USS pension scheme.

Salary Range: plus 10% mark-up for MRCVS.
