Junior Clinician in Small Animal Cardiology at University of Glasgow

October 30, 2024

Job Description

The University of Glasgow Small Animal Hospital is seeking to recruit a Junior Clinician to join our Cardiology referral service. This position might suit someone who has recently completed a rotating internship and who is looking for the next step towards specialization.

You will support the delivery of an efficient and effective small animal cardiology referral service by providing clinical activity under supervision of our ECVIM Diplomates in Cardiology and Internal Medicine, and by contributing to out-of-hours service provision. You’ll be joining a vibrant and supportive team, who thrive on achieving the best possible outcome for all patients under our care. You will contribute to the School objectives relevant to national and international excellence in clinical service, teaching and research.

Applications are invited from candidates with a veterinary degree registerable with RCVS who have completed a rotating internship or equivalent and have post-graduate clinical experience in small animal cardiology.

This post is offered on a 1 year fixed-term basis, such that they offer the early-stage clinical experience required as vets prepare for further specialist training, for example through European Board of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS®) approved residencies and/or masters formal training programmes. While appointments may be extended for short-fixed term period where this would be in the mutual interest, in the interests of ensuring that veterinary career development is supported, and to assist with recruitment to the University’s EBVS® approved Residency and our own Masters Programmes, the one year duration will remain the normal duration.

The School of Biodiversity One Health and Veterinary Medicine has an excellent international reputation in teaching, clinical services and research and is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the European Association of Establishments of Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).  Our purpose-built hospital is one of the most sophisticated in Europe allowing companion animals from across the United Kingdom to benefit for the most advanced care available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the year from some of the best specialist vets in the world.
