Veterinary Surgeon (Cardiologist)UK Visa Sponsorship
Job Description
Shape Your Career Around Cardiology
If you’re a Veterinary Surgeon with a genuine interest in cardiology and want to grow that interest into a recognised clinical strength, this role at Medivet Orrell Park offers the right environment to do it.
Rather than being limited to routine work, you’ll have the freedom to build a cardiology caseload while still maintaining a varied general practice mix. The role is designed for someone who wants to gradually develop expertise, take ownership of their clinical direction, and become a key point of contact for cardiology within the practice.
What Makes This Role Different
This opportunity gives you space to grow in a focused way. You’ll be able to:
- Develop cardiology skills alongside general practice work
Build and manage your own caseload over time
Play a role in shaping how cardiology services are delivered locally
Work closely with experienced colleagues for guidance and support
You won’t be working in isolation—there’s a strong network behind you, but you’ll still have the independence to develop your own clinical identity.

Through collaboration with a larger hospital, you’ll have access to more advanced tools and specialist support, helping you manage cardiology cases with greater depth and continuity.
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll combine clinical care with ongoing development. Your work will include:
- Conducting consultations and managing both routine and complex cases
Building and developing a cardiology-focused caseload
Using diagnostic tools to investigate and monitor cardiac conditions
Creating personalised treatment plans for patients
Working closely with the Lead Vet and wider team
Contributing to the growth and direction of clinical services
