About Us:

You’ll be joining a hard-working and inclusive team who are passionate about being at the heart of the local community. Our practice provides excellent facilities giving you access to all the equipment and space you need to care for your patients.

We are a small and close-knit team and since opening 9 years ago have built a loyal client base. You will be joining a team of 3 Vets (plus our regular locum colleagues), 1 RVN (plus 3 regular locum RVNs), 2 VCAs and 4 CCAs.

We are in a great location on the Great Western Retail Park with ample parking and great access to local amenities, for those important lunch breaks! Drumchapel is a fantastic place to be however you spend your free time, with being on the edge of the city of Glasgow; one of the most exciting, friendly and culturally vibrant cities.
