The role aims to detect notifiable disease, new and re-emerging threats, food safety incidents and zoonotic disease. You will carry out post-mortem examinations and assign relevant laboratory tests interpreting and reporting findings and giving relevant advice to private veterinarians. Farm visits may also be required. Being able to communicate effectively with famers, private veterinarians, stakeholders, and policy makers is essential in this role. You will be expected to work to quality standards and observe stringent health and safety requirements. Full training will be given, and you will be encouraged to develop your expertise.
