**UE08: £44,414 - £54,421 with additional Market Force Supplement**

**CMVM, RDSVS, Division of Farm Animal, Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiology**

**Open-ended contract, 35 hours per week with additional out of hours commitments
The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced clinician to join the Dairy Herd Health and Productivity Service (DHHPS).

This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns.

**The Opportunity**:
The Dairy Herd Health and Productivity Service (DHHPS) provides referral level consultancy services to veterinary surgeons, farmers and other bodies within the agricultural sector. Although historically focused on ruminant nutrition, the DHHPS provides independent consultancy advice to dairy, beef and sheep farms on all aspects of health and productivity including being registered deliverers of the AHDB Dairy Mastitis Control Plan and AHDB Dairy Healthy Feet Programme. RDSVS is an approved institution for both ECBHM and ECSRHM Residency programmes.

Based predominantly in the DHHPS, you will be active in the development and management of the DHHPS, the provision of its veterinary services, and developing key relationships with veterinary surgeons in farm animal practice, farmers and agricultural consultants. You will teach undergraduate veterinary students in all aspects of farm animal husbandry and disease. You will be expected to provide support to the Section’s clinical research output, with scope for development according to your interests. This post offers great variety and the opportunity for the successful applicant to both share their knowledge and develop their career. This may include working towards a clinical specialism, such as ECBHM or ECSRHM Diplomate status, or to continue clinical-orientated research.
