Small Animal Vet - Glenbrae

Find your future

At Glenbrae Veterinary Clinic in Bearsden, we are looking for a compassionate and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team and deliver exceptional clinical care to our patients. As a valued member of our team, you will play a key role in providing high-quality care while supporting the wider veterinary team.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve managing a varied caseload, spanning both medical and surgical cases. We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic individual, passionate about supporting the growth and development of our younger team members. If you're someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is confident working within a smaller team, including some sole charge at our branch clinics, we would love to hear from you.

Fix or Flex

We’re passionate about supporting our team’s well-being, which is why we offer flexible rota patterns and working hours designed to suit your lifestyle—whether you're looking for full or part-time work, or are at any stage in your veterinary career.

We can offer up to 28 hours per week, but we’re equally happy to accommodate part-time arrangements. Our weekday shifts typically run from 8:30am to 8:00pm on Mondays, and 8:30am to 7:00pm Tuesday to Friday. Our Saturday rota is just 1 in 3, with time off during the week to ensure a fair balance.
