Be part of one of the UK’s leading small animal veterinary referral centres!
An opportunity has become available for a highly motivated individual to join our Diagnostic Imaging team in our Specialist multi-disciplinary Referral Centre, to provide maternity cover. The position will ideally commence in April 2024. The successful applicant will either hold or be eligible for an RCVS, American or European Diploma (or equivalent) and share our aim of providing excellent levels of care for our patients, clients and referring Veterinary Surgeons.
The Imaging team, comprising five Specialist Diagnostic Imagers, one board-eligible clinician, two Residents, a highly experienced Radiographer and six Imaging Nurses, provides exceptional imaging support for our multi-disciplinary Specialists across Medicine, Soft Tissue Surgery, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Orthopaedics and ECC.
As temporary maternity cover, this is ideally a full-time position, however, part time or intermittent locum cover would also be considered.
Why Willows?
Willows has 200+ personnel, including around 60 Veterinary Surgeons. Our philosophy is very much one of friendly co-operation between all members of staff, creating a supportive and good-humoured atmosphere.

Siemens Syngovia DICOM reading software is available throughout the hospital on PC systems. There is also off-site access to PACS when required.
The position will be well remunerated, and the package includes generous time off for holidays, CPD and involvement in professional committees.
