Are you a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon eager to be part of a forward-thinking, supportive team within a growing practice that genuinely invests in your career? Do you value flexibility and a healthy work-life balance? This practice understand that your time outside of work matters just as much as your passion for veterinary medicine. That’s why they are proud to offer flexible working hours designed around your lifestyle and commitments—they believe you should love both your job and your life.
Clients and their animals are at the centre of everything. As the practice continues to expand, they are looking to welcome a new member to the Small Animal team to help maintain the exceptional standard of care that patients deserve. Whether you’re a developing vet ready to grow or an more experienced vet seeking a collaborative environment where your contribution is valued, you’ll find your place there.
The state-of-the-art flagship hospital is based in the charming Royal Burgh of Lanark, a vibrant market town nestled in the stunning lower Clyde Valley. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful countryside, with waterfalls, lochs and woodlands right on your doorstep—yet Glasgow is only a 40-minute drive away if you prefer city life at the weekend.
They have modern facilities, which include laser therapy, video endoscopy, ultrasound and digital x-ray equipment. The RCVS-accredited practice provides high-quality care from a main hospital site in Lanark and 2 branches close by 
You’ll be supported by an exceptional nursing team, who provide 24/7 nurse cover and regularly run their own clinics, as well as a fantastic group of 14 Vets with a wide range of clinical interests and personal passions—from hiking and paddle boarding to baking. They value collaboration and learning, holding regular clinical discussions where everyone’s input is encouraged.
While they cover their own on-call service, they work hard to protect your personal time, with an excellent rota that means you’ll only be on call one week in eleven.
The commitment to creating a positive and rewarding workplace has been recognised with a 2-star “Best Companies” award and a place among Scotland’s top ten best companies to work for in 2023. These achievements reflect the feedback and satisfaction of the incredible team.
They understand that life as a Veterinary Surgeon can be varied and sometimes challenging, so they offer 15-minute consultations and a diverse caseload to keep your days engaging and balanced. When on-call, experienced vets should be comfortable with sole charge, while less experienced colleagues will always have structured support.
They provide an extensive benefits package, including:
a competitive salary of up to £65,000 (depending on experience), excellent career progression opportunities, 33 days of annual leave (including bank holidays), and £1,750 CPD allowance with five paid CPD days. They also cover your RCVS and VDS fees, plus membership of a professional society of your choice.
Additional benefits include enhanced family leave pay, company sick pay, pension and Health Shield cover after three months, an Employee Assistance Programme, colleague discounts, wellbeing initiatives, and even the option to buy or sell holidays. A social committee also organises at least four fun, practice-wide events every year.
If this sounds like the kind of workplace where you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
