An exciting full-time maternity cover post for 12 months has arisen for an experienced veterinary surgeon with a passion for inspiring undergraduate students in all aspects of veterinary medicine. 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 include small group practical teaching, alongside lectures and tutorials with associated module leadership responsibilities. There may be a requirement to travel to our offsite partners on occasion.
About you
The successful appointee will be a 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. A teaching qualification is not essential but prior experience of teaching veterinary undergraduates would be an advantage. Those with extensive experience of supporting new graduates in practice are also encouraged to apply.
Enthusiasm, adaptability and creativity are essential, alongside excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills. We are proud to support flexible working and are happy to consider applications from candidates interested in working on a part-time basis.
What we can offer
In return we offer a generous salary with a 10% salary uplift for MRCVS registered applicants, pension, relocation assistance where appropriate, flexible working options including job share, access to world-class leisure facilities on campus, a range of travel schemes and supportive family friendly benefits including an excellent on-site nursery.
Further Information
Please apply by uploading a CV and a cover letter evidencing your suitability against the essential criteria required for this role as outlined in the person specification. You will also be asked some brief questions to help us understand your suitability for the position.
Interviews are scheduled to be held online.
