Job description

Veterinary Physiotherapist

If you have a passion for animal welfare or are looking to undertake a new challenge in your career, do you want to be part of an established, multi-discipline referral centre? Do you enjoy working in a small, friendly, and fun team?

We are now seeking a Veterinary Physiotherapist to support our passionate and friendly rehabilitation team.

We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic, and approachable person who is a great team player but is also able to use their own initiative and self-motivate. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to multi-task and a flexible approach to working, are essential.

The ideal candidate will have comprehensive knowledge and post-qualification experience in performing physiotherapy for small animals. Experience in a veterinary referral centre is desirable but not essential.

Part-time hours: 24-30 hours per week across Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Some weekend work may be required.

Please note, candidates must be able to work independently in the UK, as we are not able to offer visa sponsorship.

This role is ideal for someone seeking career progression in the veterinary industry within a nurturing and fun environment.

General duties include:

1. Provision of physiotherapy to patients within the hospital and on an outpatient basis.
2. Liaison with clinicians, veterinary nurses, and owners to ensure a coherent patient care plan.
3. Contribution to the implementation and validation of clinical quality assurance measures.
4. Communication and advice to owners of patients, including emotional support.
5. Ensuring equipment within the area of specialism is maintained and sourcing new equipment when required.
6. Ensuring all patient treatments are charged and paid for at the time.
7. Participation in outpatient clinics and maintaining patient records, ensuring documentation is complete.
8. Assisting with data collection for gait analysis, teaching, and research purposes.

Work with cutting-edge facilities

Situated just outside High Wycombe (J4, M40), Buckinghamshire, Hamilton Specialist Referrals (HSR) is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art veterinary hospital providing the latest in specialist treatments for cats and dogs, supported by an exceptional rehabilitation and physiotherapy facility.

The hospital operates 24/7, 365 days a year, offering advanced treatments for Orthopaedic, Neurology, Soft Tissue, Oncology, and Internal Medicine cases. It features a 1.5T high-field MRI and CT suite, and employs the latest digital radiography systems. We routinely use computerised gait analysis to diagnose complex lameness and monitor recovery, optimizing outcomes and reducing recovery times. Despite our size, we maintain a friendly, supportive culture focused on development, clinical excellence, and patient care.

We recently opened a state-of-the-art HDU unit, significantly enhancing our patient care capabilities, reflecting our commitment to animal wellbeing and recovery. With cutting-edge technology and compassionate care, we are setting new standards in veterinary excellence.

A Collaborative Environment

Join a supportive, collaborative team where your contributions are valued. Our clinic fosters continuous learning and professional growth, with a team of over 100 staff, including 11 specialists, 2 residents, 26 RVNs, and support teams.

What You'll Need

1. Post-qualification experience in small animal physiotherapy
2. Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
3. Ability to work collaboratively
4. Strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to patient safety
5. Additional qualifications such as hydrotherapy are a bonus but not essential.
