Reference: PPS-0364-24Exciting teaching opportunity in Large Animal Clinical Skills at The Royal Veterinary CollegeWe have an exciting opportunity in the Department of Pathobiology and Population Sciences (PPS) for a Teaching Fellow in Large Animal Clinical Skills. Competence in animal management, handling and the development of key clinical farm skills underpins our ability to produce capable veterinary graduates. For this reason, we are looking to recruit a teaching fellow to contribute to our large animal pre-clinical and clinical skills teaching. The successful applicant will form a key component of the team that is responsible for the practical teaching and assessment of veterinary students across all five years of our BVetMed Veterinary degree and associated courses and will work closely with other staff in the Farm Animal Health and Production Group.A primary focus of this role will be to oversee the development and management of our new Large Animal Handling Facility (LAHF) which is situated at the RVC Boltons Park Farm. This valuable addition to our facilities is currently under construction and due to be finished in May 2025. The building will consist of ‘wet lab’ teaching facilities, classrooms, a student common room, staff office and a modular open barn area for large live animal teaching. We have a number of interactive models for teaching clinical skills and will need to further populate the building with key clinical skills training stations. Our aim is to appoint the Teaching Fellow in Large Animal Clinical Skills prior to completion of the new facility to enable the successful candidate to play a key part in the final setup and development of the building and play an integral role in the function of the facility. Liaising closely with the farm staff and teaching colleagues, this role will primarily focus on the organisation and teaching of clinical skills across all farm species. While the position is predominantly farm animal based, the ideal candidate should also be comfortable handling horses occasionally.The successful applicant will be involved in a range of practical farm animal teaching across multiple settings.

The position will be based at the RVC Campuses in Hertfordshire but may occasionally involve teaching at other campus locations. Depending on the applicant’s desires, clinical work could be considered and encouraged in line with the applicants interests as part of the role.
