An exciting full time maternity cover post for 12 months, has arisen for an experienced veterinary surgeon (MRCVS) with a passion for inspiring undergraduate students in all aspects of small animal practice. Experienced clinicians who wish to move into education and develop their teaching expertise within a multidisciplinary department are encouraged to apply.

 

The role

The primary focus of the role will be to support the clinical teaching across the curriculum, preparing our students for their final year rotations. The role will have a strong focus on small group practical teaching, alongside lectures and tutorials. There may be a requirement to travel to our offsite partners.

We will be happy to consider a job-share role at minimum 0.5 FTE.

 

About you

The successful appointee will be a UK registered (or eligible to register) veterinary surgeon and will bring a strong understanding and experience of first opinion practice (ideally across species) to complement existing staff in their ability to deliver high quality teaching across the curriculum.
