We welcome residency graduates and will support you through the final steps to certification. The ideal candidate will be a sound, pragmatic clinical thinker who communicates clearly and compassionately with owners and referring vets, and who thrives in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team.
The role and our hospital:
You will join our internal medicine service, receiving a varied caseload of chronic and acute referrals; from complex endocrine, gastroenterological, renal, respiratory, oncological, and immune-mediated disease to critically unwell patients needing rapid, decisive care.

We are fortunate to be supported by a fantastic team of nurses across ward areas, diagnostics, and anaesthesia with VTS (Veterinary Technician Specialists) in neurology and nutrition – helping to give our patients the best care possible.
