Official Veterinarian x2

£47,120 - £54,000 per annum inclusive of Outer L/W

Fixed Term Contract - 12 Months

Ref: MCP217

The City of London Corporation is the City of opportunities, ideas and diversity. We’re an organisation that makes a contribution totally out of scale with our size.

Here, there’s nothing we take more seriously than public and animal safety. And that’s what’s at the heart of our Official Veterinarian role, making an impact across Tilbury, London Gateway and other locations across the London Port Health Authority area. 

Join us and you’ll protect the country from disease. You’ll be there to use your expertise to act, advise on and take enforcement action across the range of port health legislation. This will mean planning and conducting inspections, running projects and dealing with casework, as well as enforcing legislation that prevents the importation of unfit and other non-compliant food or feed.

To thrive in this role, you will be a great communicator as you’ll work with the team in ensuring regulatory action is consistent and appropriate. You will also have the chance to contribute towards the UK National Monitoring sampling programme for Products of Animal Origin.

To join us, you’ll need to show a significant level of technical knowledge and be well versed in relevant EU and National Public Health, and Animal Health & Welfare Legislation. You will also need a thorough understanding of relevant DEFRA/FSA/APHA guidance, and of the regulatory services covered by the Veterinary Checks Regime at a Border Control Post.

On top of this you will need a BSc or MSc in Veterinary Medicine with a Membership of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, as well as a qualification as an Official Veterinarian Red and White Meat, and preferably a qualification as Portal Official Veterinarian. We’re asking for a lot, but in return you can look forward to a competitive salary plus excellent benefits.

Own car is essential.

Closing Date 12 Noon on 3 February 2022
