Junior Clinician in Veterinary Neurology (Intern)

The University of Glasgow’s Small Animal Hospital is seeking to recruit a Junior Clinician to contribute to the delivery of an efficient and effective small animal neurology referral service by providing clinical activity in the Small Animal Hospital under supervision of ECVN Diplomates and residency-trained clinicians. The small animal neurology service currently has 4 clinicians, 3 residents, 1 junior clinician (neurology intern) and 2 neurology nurses.  You will also contribute to the School objectives relevant to national and international excellence in clinical service, teaching and research.

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine has an excellent international reputation in teaching, clinical services and research and is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the European Association of Establishments of Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).  The award-winning Small Animal Hospital is staffed by a friendly multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, residents, interns, RVNs and support staff, allowing us to offer a full range of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions to approximately 17,000 cases a year. We have all the facilities you would expect of a state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary hospital, including in-house MRI, CT, CUSA-ultrasonic aspirator and electrodiagnostic machine.

The Small Animal Hospital is located adjacent to the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in the picturesque Garscube Estate, 10 minutes’ drive from the vibrant “West End” of Glasgow, and less than one hour from Loch Lomond. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the third largest in the UK, and has recently been named the top cultural and creative centre in the UK in a European Commission report (https://composite-indicators.jrc.ec.europa.eu/cultural-creative-cities-monitor/). The same study rated Glasgow as the top city in Europe for openness, tolerance and trust. In addition, the New York Times ranked Glasgow in the top10 cities to visit worldwide in 2018 (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/travel/places-to-visit.html).

Applications are invited from candidates with a veterinary degree registerable with RCVS who have completed a rotating internship or equivalent and have post-graduate clinical experience in small animal neurology.

The post is full time and fixed term for up to 1 year.
