Work with cutting-edge facilities
Situated just outside of High Wycombe (J4, M40), Buckinghamshire, Hamilton Specialist Referrals (HSR) is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art veterinary hospital that provides the latest in cutting-edge, specialist treatments for cats and dogs, supported by an exceptional rehabilitation and physiotherapy facility. Our hospital has seen significant growth within our team, services and facilities since we opened, and are currently undergoing further expansion. Our latest expansion will provide us with a 4th soft tissue theatre with fluoroscopy, a dedicated endoscopy suite, a triage/medicine room, a high dependency unit & oxygen facilities.
HSR has the latest technologies to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of any form of orthopaedic disease or injury. There is a 1.5T high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography (CT) suite on-site, and the hospital has invested in the latest direct digital radiography systems (also known as radiographs or X-rays) (DR). We routinely use computerised gait analysis to aid in the diagnosis of complex multi-limb lameness and employ the same technology to monitor recovery from surgery. This individual approach to post-operative rehabilitation optimises outcomes and shortens recovery times. Despite working within such a large team, we pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly and supportive culture with a focus on development, clinical excellence and gold standard patient care.
Our dedicated team is gearing up to introduce a state-of-the-art HDU unit, a remarkable addition that significantly elevates the level of care and support we can offer to our valued patients. This exciting enhancement is a testament to our steadfast commitment to their well-being and recovery. With cutting-edge technology and a compassionate approach, we``re setting new standards in patient care excellence. Our new facility will be staffed with a dedicated team, whose primary focus will be to cater for all our patient``s specific needs.
Applicant Requirements
Due to the nature of the role, our successful applicant will be a qualified RVN with leadership experience and extensive knowledge of working in orthopaedics referrals. Further qualifications in orthopaedics, surgery or management would be desirable but are not essential at this stage.

Shifts fall between 07:30-20:30 as standard, over a variety of days and occasional late shifts to meet the needs of the service.
