We're excited to announce that Bristol Vet Specialists is looking for an Ophthalmology Specialist to join our growing team. The position is flexible to suit a full or part-time role (3 or 4 days a week considered). While the ideal candidate would hold a diploma in veterinary ophthalmology (Dip ECVO / ACVO) and have experience in training ophthalmology residents, applications from ECVO board-eligible candidates  will also be considered.

The successful candidate will be working alongside our experienced and enthusiastic ophthalmology team, which is currently formed by three senior ophthalmologists (two DipECVO and one SAVC RSVO), a 3rd year ECVO resident and two discipline-specific Registered Vet Nurses. Rotating interns regularly join our service, offering further support and assistance and the service also attracts significant demand from external visitors.

The Ophthalmology service benefits from its own dedicated consultation room and allocated theatre and offers comprehensive eye care ranging from adnexal procedures to advanced intraocular surgery. We are strongly committed to our relationships with the referring primary care practices we work with, providing a satellite ophthalmology service at two additional centres on a monthly basis.

About our hospital: Bristol Vet Specialists (BVS) is a modern specialist-led, referral-only hospital, which is located on the outskirts of Bristol, near the M5. We offer a full complement of specialist-led services, which include anaesthesia and analgesia, cardiology, dentistry and maxillofacial surgery, dermatology, diagnostic imaging, emergency and critical care, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery. We work together in a collegial and collaborative environment to provide the highest standards of care to our patients. Our brand-new state-of-the-art purpose-built hospital has 11 canine consult rooms, a separate feline centre, MRI, CT, 5 theatres, ICU and an incredible team of referral nurses and support staff. The hospital is the only veterinary hospital in the Southwest to have a linear accelerator. (https://cvs-referrals.com/referrals/referral-centres/-/bristol-vet-specialists/).
