**Job summary**:
**Do you want to be part of a team protecting Great Britain from exotic notifiable diseases? If so, why not join us and make a difference**
This is a new job in APHA combining VIO work with notifiable disease outbreak work. The VIO role focusses on surveillance for notifiable diseases, new and re-emerging threats, food safety incidents and zoonotic disease. To do this you will carry out postmortem examinations, collecting appropriate samples and assigning relevant laboratory tests. These findings will permit interpreting and reporting findings and give relevant advice to private veterinarians and other bodies. Visits to farms and to investigate wildlife mortality incidents may also be required.
You will carry out the VIO role other than when required for the outbreak role.
In the outbreak role, you will be involved in investigating notifiable disease outbreaks, this will include ‘field work’ visiting infected premises, monitoring livestock on ‘at risk farms’ and potentially periods on detached duty with overnight stays away from home. You will be eligible for emergency response payments, other allowances and overtime for outbreak work.
Being able to communicate effectively with farmers, private veterinarians, stakeholders, and policy makers is essential in these roles. 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.
