Descripción del empleo

If you want to spend a year developing your clinical skills within a busy specialist referral hospital, we have a range of speciality veterinary internships available at The Ralph in 2027.

Our internships offer the chance to work closely with Board-certified Diplomates and other experienced clinicians, gain extensive exposure to referral cases, develop your clinical judgement and take increasing responsibility as your experience grows.

For many interns, this experience forms part of their journey towards residency training. Others undertake a speciality internship simply because they want to develop greater knowledge, experience and confidence within their chosen discipline. Both are very welcome.

Learning And Development

You will join a large multidisciplinary team of approximately 260 Ralphers, working within a busy referral hospital with excellent facilities and a varied caseload.

All our clinical services are led by Board-certified Diplomates. Since The Ralph opened in 2019, we have established residency programmes across most of our services. Several of our residents have now completed their training and become Board-certified specialists.

Although the exact experience varies by discipline, our speciality interns benefit from close clinical supervision, case discussion, and teaching, alongside opportunities to get involved in clinical research. We also support the continuation or completion of relevant postgraduate qualifications.

Pastoral support matters too. Interns receive support within their own service, alongside our Resident and Vet Intern Support Officers. Regular check-ins provide space for feedback, development and discussion about how the year is progressing.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for motivated veterinary surgeons with a genuine interest in their chosen discipline.

You should be curious, keen to learn and comfortable receiving feedback. We want people who are serious about developing clinically and who will contribute positively to the team around them.
