Veterinary Radiologist

About the Role

Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital is seeking a Board-certified Veterinary Radiologist to join its growing Diagnostic Imaging Department. This is your chance to work with cutting-edge diagnostic equipment in one of Canada's most beautiful cities — with genuine work-life balance built into the role. There are no after-hours or on-call expectations, so your evenings and weekends truly belong to you.

You'll collaborate with a robust team of 12 emergency clinicians and boarded specialists in surgery, neurology, internal medicine, medical oncology, radiation oncology, critical care, anesthesia, and rehab/sports medicine. Your imaging expertise will support both specialty departments and the hospital's busy emergency service. The role is available as permanent full-time or part-time, and the practice welcomes applicants nearing completion of their residency who are preparing for board exams.

Victoria offers oceanside city living at its finest — excellent year-round weather, a laid-back charm, rich heritage and cultural attractions, outdoor adventure, and the nickname "Garden City" for good reason. One of North America's most beautiful cities, it's the kind of place that makes you actually want to stay after work.
