Junior Clinician in Small Animal Surgery at University of Glasgow
Job Description
We are seeking to recruit a Junior Clinician to join our enthusiastic team of surgeons in the Small Animal Hospital of the School Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine. The position might suit someone who has recently completed a rotating internship and who is looking for the next step towards specialization.
You will support an efficient and effective small animal surgical referral service by providing clinical activity under supervision of ECVS Diplomates and Advanced Practitioners, as well as participating in the out-of-hour service.
Applications are invited from candidates with a veterinary degree registerable with RCVS who have completed a rotating internship or equivalent or have post-graduate clinical experience in small animal surgery.
Package & Benefits include:
- 35-hour working week
- 41 days leave (including public holidays)
- Competitive pension scheme
- 20% discount on Veterinary products and services
- CPD allowance/subsidised further education.
- Fantastic working environment
- Access to 24 hr x 365-day confidential employee support service and a health & wellbeing app
- A range of benefits available to all University staff, including exclusive discounts from high street retailers
The 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 periods 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.
Veterinary Medicine has an excellent international reputation in teaching, clinical service and research and is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the European Association of Establishments of Veterinary Education and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Our purpose-built hospital is one of the most sophisticated in Europe allowing companion animals from across the United Kingdom to benefit from the most advanced care available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the year.
