Chester Zoo is one of the leading zoological collections in Europe with a mission to be “a major force in conserving biodiversity world wide”. The zoo has an international reputation for its high standards of animal welfare, husbandry and conservation breeding and for its contribution to conservation, education and research. It is also just beginning a major phase of redevelopment and expansion which makes this a particularly exciting time to join the team.

We are seeking a strong team player and experienced zoo/wild animal clinician for this exciting role. The applicant will be expected to hold a relevant post graduate qualification to Masters level or above and have a proven track record in research. They must also hold or be eligible to hold membership of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (licence to practice in the UK).
The role is full time, 40 hours per week; with weekend duties shared amongst the vets. Salary is £33,525, increasing to £37,250 on successful completion of the probation period.
