This is a senior clinical leadership position for an established clinician with expertise in equine orthopaedics, lameness and sports medicine, combining a high-level clinical caseload with the opportunity to shape the future of our Orthopaedic Department.

Our team of 10 veterinarians includes board-certified specialists in surgery, internal medicine and diagnostic imaging. We offer extensive facilities for orthopaedic diagnostics and treatment, including dedicated lameness arenas, standing MRI, large-bore CT and two operating theatres.
We strongly believe in multidisciplinary collaboration, clinical excellence, innovation and genuine teamwork. As part of the Altano international network, we also offer opportunities for international collaboration, knowledge exchange and professional development.

• Work closely with our diagnostic imaging, surgery and internal medicine teams
• Develop high clinical standards and evidence-based protocols
• Mentor and support veterinarians and interns
• Build strong relationships with clients, trainers and referring veterinarians
• Contribute to the strategic development and growth of the clinic
We are looking for an established equine clinician with extensive experience in orthopaedics, lameness and/or sports medicine, ideally with experience working with high-level sport horses.
You are an ECVS, ECVSMR, ACVS or ACVSMR Diplomate, residency-trained or board-eligible veterinarian, ISELP certified, or have equivalent internationally recognised clinical expertise and experience.
Above all, you combine clinical excellence with leadership, excellent communication, approachability and strong team values.
A senior position with considerable autonomy and the opportunity to shape and develop a successful Orthopaedic Department, alongside a multidisciplinary specialist team.
We offer an excellent sport horse caseload, advanced diagnostic facilities, international collaboration through Altano, support for professional development, a friendly and supportive working environment, and a competitive remuneration package reflecting your experience and expertise.
