About Us:

You will join a very stable team which is currently made up of 3 FT vets, 1 FT RVN, 1 SVN, Practice Manager and 3 receptionists, which we find is the perfect balance for ensuring you always get breaks and time in the diary to catch up on admin.

The practice is located in East Dunbartonshire and within a 20-minute drive of the city centre of Glasgow. The international airport in Glasgow is within a 30-minute drive of the practice which makes it the ideal location for international vets returning home for holidays or is an easy gateway for a city break in Europe during your time off.

At Bishopbriggs Vets for Pets we are an RCVS PSS (and have been for the past 14 years), an RVN training practice, a Silver Cat Friendly practice and have achieved the Investors in Environment Bronze award. To support all of this we have excellent facilities and equipment within the practice which includes a full in-house Lab (Procyte, Catalyst, Invue, Sedivue), an oxygen chamber, ultrasound, digital x-ray, dental xray, tonometer, patient warmer, fluid pumps, syringe driver and many more.

We work on 15-minute consults, with regular time blocked out to catch up on paperwork. In addition, we also set aside time for lab results, repeat prescriptions and vet discharge appointments to ensure that you never get behind and can leave on time at the end of your shift as we value your personal life outside of work. Our nurses also conduct daily consults in practice to assist the vets including 2nd vaccinations, microchips, bandage checks just to name a few.

The role:

We are looking for a full-time Veterinary Surgeon working around 35 hours per week, with 1 in 3 Saturdays.

The ideal candidate will have 3+ years’ experience working in Small Animal practice in the UK a, with solid surgical skills, and the drive to work up medical cases in practice.

This role has the potential for the right candidate to develop into a clinical lead and certificates will be supported.
