Orthopedic Surgeon to AniCura Kalmar Animal Hospital

About AniCura Kalmarsund Animal Hospital

Imagine stepping into an animal hospital where the possibilities are extensive, the equipment is state-of-the-art and the ambitions are high. A place where ideas are encouraged, expertise can flourish and where, together, we can make a real difference for animals and their owners in entirely new ways.

In early 2027, we will open the doors to a brand-new animal hospital in the heart of Kalmar. This is a major investment in the future of veterinary care and will be the only animal hospital in Kalmar County. We are building a facility with the capacity, expertise and equipment to handle everything from emergency cases to complex medical and surgical challenges.

The hospital will feature four state-of-the-art operating theatres, an intensive care unit (ICU), an inpatient ward, an emergency department, rehabilitation facilities and a completely separate dental department. In addition, we will offer advanced diagnostic imaging, including MRI and CT, orthopaedics, modern medical technology that opens up new treatment possibilities, and an advanced laboratory.

But what will truly make this hospital exceptional is not just the building, equipment or technology. It is the people who will bring it to life. Their expertise, curiosity, willingness to develop and ambition to continuously improve.

This is your opportunity to be part of something significant from the very beginning. To influence, develop and build a new operation alongside colleagues who share your passion for veterinary medicine.

The animal hospital of the future is taking shape in Kalmar. The question is - will you be part of it?

Who We Are Looking For:

We are now looking for an experienced veterinary surgeon with a strong interest and proven expertise in orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery and arthroscopy. You will play a central role in developing and shaping our orthopaedic service, with access to a state-of-the-art surgical environment featuring four spacious operating theatres, two of which are dedicated to orthopaedics.

Our equipment includes CT, an arthroscopy tower and a C-arm fluoroscopy system - providing excellent conditions for advanced diagnostics and surgical procedures.

You will become part of an experienced and dedicated team of veterinary nurses, veterinary surgeons and veterinary care assistants, all accustomed to working with advanced surgical cases. Together, you will manage everything from orthopaedic investigations to complex surgical procedures, treating both referral patients and emergency cases. You will also work closely with colleagues in anaesthesia, neurology, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation.

About the Role

As an Orthopaedic Veterinary Surgeon, you will play an important role in establishing and developing our service. You will have considerable scope to influence both clinical practice and the future direction of our orthopaedic offering.

Your responsibilities will include:

Performing advanced orthopaedic investigations and surgical procedures.

Carrying out procedures such as TPLO, fracture repair, arthroscopy, patellar surgery and other orthopaedic interventions.

Managing both referral patients and emergency orthopaedic cases.

Working closely with our teams in surgery, neurology, anaesthesia, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation.

Contributing to the development of clinical practices, protocols and future treatment opportunities.

Sharing your expertise, mentoring colleagues and fostering a strong culture of knowledge exchange.

This is more than the next step in your veterinary career. It is an opportunity to build something from the ground up, influence its direction and leave your mark on an entirely new orthopaedic service.

We are building the animal hospital of the future in Kalmar. Would you like to help write its first chapter?
