The Opportunity
QVS has an exciting opportunity for a Board-certified oncologist or a veterinarian residency-trained in oncology to join our growing specialist hospital group.

You will be supported by an experienced team across internal medicine, surgery, emergency and critical care, anaesthesia and other specialist services, allowing for genuinely collaborative patient care.
As QVS continues to expand its oncology service, this role offers more than clinical delivery. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of service workflows, clinical standards, client and referring vet experience, and future intern and residency training pathways, if desired.
