Lecturer in Veterinary General Practice

We are seeking enthusiastic individuals with a veterinary degree and MRCVS for two part‑time (0.5 FTE) Lecturer posts, one to act as Student Engagement Lead, and one to act as Learning Resources Lead. Successful applicants will join a team of fellow professionals within the School of Veterinary Medicine committed to providing excellence in teaching for the benefit of a new generation of vets.

The roles will involve a range of responsibilities including:

• Delivery of high‑quality, creative and evidence‑based teaching activities, critically reviewing learning approaches, and implementing innovative assessment and pedagogical practices.
• Creation and maintenance of engaging learning materials and digital teaching resources.
• Coordination and quality assurance of teaching and student support provision while contributing to curriculum development and programme innovation.
• Support of the School’s attendance monitoring processes through accurate record keeping, auditing of attendance data, and working closely with academic staff and students.
• Engagement with pedagogical research and collaborative academic projects to ensure teaching practice remains current, relevant, and responsive to sector developments.

Candidates will be appointed at Lecturer A or Lecturer B level depending on experience. The full time equivalent salary for this role ranges from £37,694 - £56,535 plus an additional 10% payment for continued RCVS membership. As this is a part time role, the pro rata 0.5 FTE salary (including 10% payment) ranges from £20,731 to £31,094 per annum.

A passion for veterinary medicine and a strong commitment to delivering excellent teaching are essential. Enthusiasm and a willingness to work flexibly and creatively in different contexts are also important, alongside excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills. Experience of teaching in an educational or professional setting and development of teaching materials is desirable.

In return we offer a generous salary with a 10% salary uplift for MRCVS registered applicants, CPD budget, pension, relocation assistance, access to world‑class leisure facilities on campus, a range of travel schemes, and supportive family friendly benefits including an excellent on‑site nursery. We are proud to support flexible working and are happy to consider applications from candidates interested in flexible working patterns. If you do not yet hold a teaching qualification, support will be provided to help you undertake this.

The University of Surrey is committed to providing an inclusive environment that offers equal opportunities for all. We value everyone in our community and are seeking to increase the diversity. Therefore, we particularly encourage applications from under‑represented groups, such as people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and people with disabilities.

All new starters who are on a local/Guildford contract are expected to be physically present on campus for 80% minimum of their working week during their initial four to six months of employment (the duration will vary depending on individual role).
