Job Description
Shape Your Clinical Path
This is not a standard veterinary role. At Medivet Canonbury, you’ll have the opportunity to build a clinical niche in areas such as internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, or cardiology. The practice is designed for vets who enjoy digging deeper into cases, developing diagnostic plans, and following patients through their full treatment journey.
If you’re motivated by clinical excellence and want to grow in a focused area, this role offers the support and flexibility to do just that.
Your Day-to-Day Impact
You’ll play a key role in managing both routine and more advanced medical cases, with responsibilities including:

Carrying out detailed diagnostic workups and investigations
Developing structured treatment plans tailored to individual patients
Building lasting relationships with clients through continuity of care
Supporting the growth of in-house services and clinical standards
Collaborating with colleagues across the wider Medivet network
This role gives you the time and support to practise medicine thoughtfully rather than rushing through cases.
