Job Details

We Want YOU!

Are you an experienced, enthusiastic, dynamic, professional, team-playing, caring and progressive veterinary ophthalmologist?

We are looking for ophthalmologists to support our established team. A referral clinician who is ready for something exciting and new, with the passion and skills to care for patients, customers and colleagues alike, and be an integral part of a truly multidisciplinary team.
The ophthalmology team is currently composed of two Ophthalmology diploma holders/RCVS Recognised Specialists, a BSAVA Certificated Practitioner, a BSAVA Certificate clinician in training, and a dedicated Ophthalmology Nurse. A resident role is planned for the future.
We have two fully equipped ophthalmology consultation rooms and a dedicated ophthalmology theatre with Zeiss OPMI Lumera surgical microscope and Bausch & Lomb Stellaris phacoemulsification machine.

Specialists in diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia, medicine, oncology, neurology, exotics, cardiology, dermatology and surgery form an important part of the cross discipline collaborative referral team.  Other hospital facilities include 13 consultation rooms, 7 hospital wards (including ICU), 5 theatres, full advanced imaging suite (including digital radiography, C-Arm fluoroscopy, 3 ultrasound rooms with GE machines including cardiology echo scanner, also a 16-slice GE CT and 1.5T HDE MRI), an endoscopy suite, hydrotherapy pool and treadmills, and dedicated chemotherapy and radio-iodine treatment rooms.

In addition, we have a well-staffed, dedicated night team allowing on-premises 24-hour hospitalisation and intensive medication.

For those interested in equine ophthalmology, there is an equine hospital within the practice and great potential to build on our equine ophthalmology referral service.

Pride Veterinary Centre is a state-of-the-art referral and teaching hospital located in Derby, UK and collaborates with University of Nottingham Veterinary School. This provides the opportunity to support teaching and research interests and the chance to inspire the next generation of veterinary professionals.  The hospital is situated in the Pride Park development in amongst amazing sporting arenas and commercial enterprises.
