Senior Clinician/Clinician in Small Animal Surgery

The School of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for the post of Senior Clinician or Clinician in Small Animal Surgery. We encourage candidates who have an interest in general surgery, with either a strong orthopaedic or strong soft tissue bias.

The successful candidate will be based in our award-winning Small Animal Hospital on the beautiful Garscube estate. This busy multidisciplinary hospital is staffed by a team of specialists in surgery, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia, and ophthalmology. State of the art facilities available on-site include 1.5T MRI, CT, linear accelerator, digital radiography, and four fully equipped surgical theatres. Our ‘One Hospital’ team ethos ensures exceptional clinical care can be delivered to our patients, and supports the continual professional development of our vets, nurses and support staff.

The ideal candidate will hold a Diploma or equivalent qualification in surgery and will have experience delivering a high-quality surgical referral service. The successful candidate will also contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate clinical training, and clinical research and scholarships are actively encouraged and supported through a significant element of ‘off-clinic’ time.

Candidates must have an RCVS registrable degree in veterinary medicine and hold a postgraduate Diploma in Veterinary Surgery (ECVS, ACVS or RCVS).  Experienced candidates holding Advanced Practitioner status will also be considered along with candidates eligible to sit the Diploma examination (prior contact is advised).  A background in research and a PhD, although desirable, is not essential.
