Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia & Analgesia
Launched in August 2025, Stansted Veterinary Specialists (SVS) is a premier, multi-disciplinary small animal referral centre located less than a mile from London Stansted Airport. As a clinician-owned, independent practice, we have stripped away the corporate red tape to put pets, people, and professional integrity at the heart of our mission.
The Role
We are seeking a second visionary Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia & Analgesia to join our expanding team. This is a unique invitation to help shape a department from its infancy, working alongside a collaborative team of Specialists in Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Soft Tissue Surgery, Oncology & Orthopaedics.
The Role
You will join an existing ECVAA Diplomate and a team of two dedicated anaesthesia nurses. This role is designed for a clinician who thrives on complexity and leadership. You will:
· Lead the anaesthetic management of both stable and critically ill patients.
· Mentor and supervise the wider clinical team to elevate standards of perioperative care.
· Utilize state-of-the-art technology, including TIVA/TCI protocols and advanced locoregional techniques (ultrasound-guided/nerve stimulation).
The Package & Schedule
We believe in a sustainable work-life balance that respects the intensity of specialist practice:
· Four-day working week.
· On-call: One weekday per week and a 1-in-4 weekend rotation (Friday–Sunday).
· Competitive Salary: Commensurate with experience and seniority.
· Ownership Mentality: Participation in our profit-related annual bonus scheme.
· Professional Investment: Generous CPD allowance, payment of RCVS/European/American registration fees, and a robust pension scheme.
Requirements
The successful candidate must be a Diplomate (ECVAA, ACVAA, or RCVS Specialist) and hold RCVS registration (or a registrable degree).
