We have an exciting opportunity for a Radiographer to join a team of friendly radiographers, on a part time basis, in this busy Veterinary Teaching Hospital. This post is fixed-term for 12 months or the return of the post holder, whichever is the earlier.

In return, we can offer a supportive and engaging environment and generous paid annual leave, plus public holidays. We encourage CPD and provide an allowance to support this, along with competitive staff benefits and services.
