We understand the value of your expertise and commitment, which is why we offer industry-leading salaries, in line with your level of experience.
By joining our team at Hamilton Specialist Referrals, you will be integral to our mission, dedicated to delivering top-tier care to our patients. You will provide the professional services expected of a Senior Veterinary Surgeon in dealing with OOH and emergency cases received within normal hours, referring vets, and other OOH providers. You will be the lead figure on shift, supporting your team and liaising with the HDU Clinical Nurse Team Leader to ensure the best quality care for your patients. You will have experience working in an Emergency, OOH, or Referral environment and be comfortable potentially being the first port of call for emergency medical, neurological, and surgical procedures.
Be part of an exceptional team. Hamilton Specialist Referrals was born of the belief that there is room for a new wave of veterinary excellence across the UK. There is a strong focus on providing a personal and reassuring client experience from first contact through to discharge. Excellent clinical care delivered in a friendly and supportive manner to referring vets is paramount to the team. The hospital is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and can offer the most advanced treatment options available for orthopaedic, neurology, soft tissue, oncology, internal medicine, and cardiology cases. Our team is made up of 10 Specialists (Surgery, Medicine, Oncology, Neurology, Imaging), 2 Radiographers, 30 Nurses, and ample support staff.
Facilities include on-site 1.5T MRI and CT scanner suites, a variety of joint replacement systems, electro diagnostics, and a full complement of the latest radiography and arthroscopy equipment.
