Full Time Mixed Veterinary Surgeon – Glasgow

Job Description

Overview

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Mixed Veterinary Surgeon to join a thriving and progressive veterinary group with practices in the Glasgow area. As the practice continues to expand its facilities, clinical services, and team, this is an exciting time to become part of a well-established organisation with ambitious plans for the future. While the role is ideally suited to a mixed practitioner, applications are also welcomed from veterinarians with a particular interest in farm animal or equine work.

The practice is built around a large, experienced, and collaborative team comprising veterinary surgeons, nurses, animal care assistants, reception staff, and dedicated management professionals. With 17 vets across the group, including four Clinical Directors and three Senior Veterinary Surgeons who remain actively involved in clinical work, the practice offers a supportive environment where knowledge sharing and teamwork are highly valued. Clinical and management teams work seamlessly across both sites, ensuring continuity of care and a strong sense of collaboration.

Clinical excellence is at the heart of the practice. The team offers a range of advanced services, including ophthalmology referrals led by a certificate holder, acupuncture services, laparoscopic surgery, regular sonography clinics, and monthly cardiology consultations. This breadth of expertise provides an interesting and varied caseload, as well as opportunities for ongoing professional development.

Significant investment is currently being made in both locations. The site is undergoing a major refurbishment and extension project, creating a modern veterinary facility with multiple operating theatres, an expanded preparation area, dedicated dental and imaging suites, enhanced laboratory facilities, additional consulting rooms, and dedicated spaces for farm animal examinations and feline patients. At the same time, extensive refurbishment work is taking place at the branch, with upgrades to the kennels, cattery, isolation facilities, and inpatient wards.

The practice is equally committed to investing in its people. Colleague wellbeing is a genuine priority, reflected in initiatives such as weekly Wellness Wednesdays, where teams come together to relax, socialise, and participate in activities ranging from crafts and bingo to wellbeing-focused sessions. Regular social events throughout the year, including an annual curling evening and combined Christmas celebrations, help foster the close-knit and supportive culture that defines the practice.

Professional development is actively encouraged, with generous CPD. Team members are supported in pursuing their individual interests and career ambitions, whether through further qualifications, advanced clinical training, or leadership development.

The successful candidate will join an organisation that values innovation, teamwork, and career progression. Flexible working arrangements are available, allowing the role to be tailored to individual circumstances and helping to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

This opportunity would suit a veterinary surgeon who is passionate about delivering high-quality patient care, enjoys working as part of a collaborative team, and is looking to join a practice that is continually investing in its people, services, and facilities. With exciting developments underway and a strong focus on both clinical excellence and employee wellbeing, the practice offers an outstanding environment in which to build a rewarding veterinary career.
