Interested in this role?
Langford Vets are pleased to invite applications for an internship in veterinary diagnostic imaging. The successful candidate will join our close-knit department of four European Diplomates, three small animal track residents and three radiographers based at the Langford Vets Small Animal Hospital, working within the largest team of specialists and specialists-in-training in the Southwest of England.
The position is a fixed-term one-year post beginning in late January/early February 2027. You will form a vital part of the department’s clinical service in both acquisition and interpretation of imaging studies, with training given in all relevant modalities under full supervision by the senior staff. The role will involve some out of hours responsibilities. Engagement with clinical research is expected and encouraged. The role is ideal for individuals wishing to pursue further development in diagnostic imaging, and there may be the potential to progress into a residency position upon successful completion.
Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK, have at least two years post-graduate experience, and ideally have undertaken both general practice work and a recognised small animal rotating internship.
For more information, please contact Alison Major, Clinical Lead in Diagnostic Imaging (alison.major@bristol.ac.uk).
