Do you have experience in livestock medicine and are you looking for a new challenge?

We are offering the opportunity to join a friendly team of veterinary pathologists at the Animal and Plant Health Agency's Weybridge laboratory in Surrey investigating diseases of livestock.

Utilising your existing knowledge of livestock production and disease, you will be encouraged and supported in developing expertise in livestock pathology.

In addition to great mentoring and fully funded CPD, we offer flexible working hours, generous annual leave, access to the Civil Service Pension Scheme and additional Specialist Pay Lead, allowing you to have job satisfaction and a great work-life balance.
