Many of the competencies you have developed in previous veterinary roles will be applicable and appreciated in positions within the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). Consider exploring a new veterinary trajectory that can have significant impacts on animal welfare and public health.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) operates as an executive agency under the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, collaborating with the Scottish and Welsh Governments.

- Animal Science Project Leadership: Contribute to the welfare of various species used in research, develop animal science capabilities, and engage in policy-relevant research across disease portfolios.
- Named Veterinary Surgeon Duties: Oversee compliance with the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act, ensuring veterinary care for experimental animals and advising on health and welfare needs.

- Specialization Development: Evolve as a veterinary specialist in your area of responsibility, supporting the development of scientific capabilities within the department.
- Ethics and Welfare Participation: Actively engage in the Ethical Review Body, contributing to project license applications and protocol reviews.
- Communication and Training: Utilize strong interpersonal skills to liaise with diverse stakeholders, deliver training, and contribute to scientific reports.
- Financial Management: Involve in budget planning and resource management to ensure effective use of resources.
- Safety Protocols: Lead safety inspections and audits, ensuring compliance with health protocols.
- Quality Assurance: Stay updated on relevant legislation and contribute to departmental inspections and audits.
Qualifications and Skills:
To be successful in this role, you will need to demonstrate:
- Clinical experience with small or food animal species or experimental models.
- Strong communication and leadership skills.
- A veterinary degree in Veterinary Medicine.
- Registration with or eligibility for RCVS (MRCVS is essential).
Benefits: In addition to a competitive salary, APHA offers a comprehensive benefits package, including a contributory pension scheme, generous annual leave, and opportunities for professional development. We are committed to supporting the career and personal well-being of our employees.
