£32,000, Plus Benefits

Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists is a specialist led, referral only hospital in the New Forest. We have specialist services in Anaesthesia, Cardiology, Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Soft tissue and Orthopaedic Surgery, Ophthalmology and Diagnostic Imaging. We also have extensive patient rehabilitation services, including physiotherapy and an underwater treadmill.

Focus on your future

Our surgery intern program is aimed at motivated veterinary surgeons, who will play a key role in the management, monitoring, and treatment of our patients. We currently have two surgery interns who rotate between Soft Tissue, Orthopaedic Surgery and the out of hours service, over a twelve-month period. A surgery internship is the first step towards specialist training. For others, the skills and knowledge they have acquired during the internship can be brought to a general practice setting.

Required skills and experience

You must be registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, be eligible to work in the UK, and have a minimum of two years clinical experience since graduation. Candidates should have completed a rotating internship in a multidisciplinary referral centre, in addition to experience of first-opinion, small animal practice in the UK. Proficiency in both spoken and written English is required, with exemplary communication skills being essential.
