You will work alongside a Medicine and Oncology team boasting 3 ECVIM Diplomates and a dedicated Oncology Nurse, as well as Internal Medicine residents, clinicians, and a large multidisciplinary nursing team. We have all the usual facilities and equipment expected within a large referral hospital, including a 5-theatre surgical facility that opened in 2022.
Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists is proud to be part of the IVC Evidensia group, which gives us the benefits of being part of a larger network, while still maintaining our local, close-knit feel.

The ideal candidate will work 2 days per week, though less could be negotiated (no on-call commitments).
