Veterinary Radiologist – Specialist Referral Practice, Stansted Veterinary Specialists, Essex, UK

Stansted Veterinary Specialists is a new, independent, multi-disciplinary small animal referral centre that opened in August 2025, located less than one mile from London Stansted Airport with excellent transport links to London and Cambridge.

We are proudly independent, owned exclusively by the clinical team working within the hospital. This allows us to focus entirely on delivering outstanding patient care while maintaining a supportive, collaborative working environment for our staff. Our philosophy places pets and people at the heart of everything we do, fostering a culture where clinical excellence, teamwork, and wellbeing are equally valued.

Our Diagnostic Imaging service supports a growing range of specialist-led referral services, including:

  • Anaesthesia
  • Cardiology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Neurology and Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Orthopaedics
  • Soft Tissue Surgery

You would be joining a friendly and highly collaborative team where imaging plays a central role in patient care and clinical decision making.

Imaging Facilities

Our imaging department is equipped with advanced technology expected of a modern specialist centre, including:

  • Direct Digital Radiography
  • Ultrasound: Philips EPIQ Elite and Mindray TE5
  • CT: Philips Incisive CT 64-slice
  • MRI: Canon Vantage Fortian 1.5T
  • Fluoroscopy: Philips Zenition 70

This equipment allows us to provide a comprehensive diagnostic imaging service across a diverse referral caseload.

You will work closely with a skilled imaging team currently consisting of one full-time veterinary radiologist and one full-time radiographer, with excellent support from our wider clinical and nursing teams.

The Role

We are seeking full-time or part-time Veterinary Radiologist(s) to join our growing team. A full-time role will be a 4-day week (working pattern negotiable) with a 1-in-4 contribution to the imaging on-call rota – with part-time roles calculated pro-rata.

This is an exciting opportunity to help develop and shape the imaging service within a young and ambitious referral practice. The role offers a varied caseload including advanced cross-sectional imaging, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and radiographic interpretation across multiple disciplines.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Providing advanced interpretation and written reporting in all imaging modalities
  • Performing and supervising ultrasound examinations
  • Assisting with study acquisition and advanced diagnostic procedures in CT, MRI and fluoroscopy
  • Collaborating closely with other specialist disciplines to guide decision making in radiology and help steer overall case management
  • Contributing to the continued development and optimisation of imaging protocols and best practices within the radiology department
  • Training and teaching of other clinical staff – with potential for this to expand into supporting a residency programme in the future

We support flexible working arrangements. The role can be tailored to suit individual preferences, including the opportunity to combine on-site clinical work with teleradiology commitments or other professional roles, allowing for an excellent work–life balance.

  • Be registered with RCVS or hold a veterinary degree that allows registration.
  • Enjoy working within a collaborative and supportive team environment.
  • Be motivated to contribute to the continued development of a growing independent referral centre.

  • A friendly, collaborative and supportive team culture
  • The opportunity to shape and develop a growing radiology service
