Job Specifications

Commencing July 2026 & October 2026 (2 positions available)

This is a 12-month position. The internship is primarily hospital-based but candidates may be asked to perform other clinical activities within the practice as caseload requires. At the end of this internship, we would anticipate that the individuals will have developed a wide range of competencies including lameness investigation, anaesthesia, reproductive work, diagnostic imaging and management of colic cases. The applicants should become well-grounded to enter private practice or apply for further post-graduate training.

Responsibilities

The interns will be responsible for in-patient care, client communication and will assist with out-patient appointments, emergency admissions and surgery. Prior experience of equine anaesthesia is an advantage. The interns will be encouraged to complete a case report/series with the final aim of publication in a peer-reviewed journal and relevant support will be given for this.
