Veterinary Radiologist

About the Role

Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital is seeking a Board-certified Veterinary Radiologist to join a thriving Diagnostic Imaging Department within a comprehensive specialty and emergency referral hospital. This is your chance to work with cutting-edge diagnostic equipment in one of Canada's most stunning oceanside locations — and to do it without the burnout of after-hours call.

You'll be part of a robust team that includes 12 emergency clinicians and specialists across multiple disciplines (surgery, neurology, internal medicine, medical oncology, radiation oncology, critical care, anesthesia, and rehab/sports medicine). Your imaging work will directly support emergency cases, specialty referrals, and a busy general patient population. There is no expectation for after-hours or on-call duties — your time outside the hospital is genuinely yours.

Victoria offers the kind of lifestyle that makes work feel worth it: oceanside beauty, year-round excellent weather, laid-back charm, rich heritage, cultural attractions, and easy access to adventure. The "Garden City" reputation is well-earned.
