- Managing a varied caseload, including more complex medical cases
Using diagnostic tools to investigate and treat conditions effectively
Building strong, trusting relationships with clients
Collaborating with colleagues across the wider Medivet network
Supporting improvements in clinical standards and services
Who This Role Will Suit
You’re likely to enjoy this position if you:
- Are a qualified MRCVS Veterinary Surgeon
Have a strong interest in medicine, imaging, or cardiology
Hold (or are working towards) a postgraduate certificate, or have equivalent experience
Enjoy clinical problem-solving and case continuity
Value teamwork, communication, and high standards of care
