Job description

We are currently advertising for a full-time (4 day week) 6-month position in our Small Animal Internal Medicine department, starting in January 2027. Whilst the ideal candidate will be an ECVIM or ACVIM boarded diplomat, ECVIM/ACVIM board eligible candidates will also be considered. Candidates should have experience in running a busy hospital case load and in training medicine residents/interns and you will take part in an on-call rota supporting our residents.

The successful candidate will join our experienced, cohesive and friendly team that consists of four boarded specialists (3 ECVIM and 1 ACVIM), one board eligible clinician, two medicine residents, one medicine intern, four discipline specific medicine nurses and one medicine specific patient care assistant. We also run a successful rotating internship program and so we often have a rotating intern on our service as well. Our department has all the usual fun tools a medicine specialist could need!
