Job Description

A rare opportunity has come up to join our fantastic colleagues over at Dumbarton Vets for Pets on a full or part time basis

  • Dumbarton vets for pets are growing and because of this they are looking ideally for an experienced Vet to join us
  • The team have a very low staff turnover
  • You will be supported by a wealth of experience with most of the team having between 3- and 18-years qualified experience
  • The practice believes in personal development. You will be highly encouraged and supported to progress in your career with certificate and CPD support
  • There are vets working towards their exotics and internal medicine certificate
  • Consult only can be considered
  • This role can be full or part time from 30 hours +
  • Weekends are worked on a 1.5 in 8 basis for full time or up to a 1 in 10 basis for part time team members
  • The team is very sociable and like to do lots of things outside of work such as a running club and yoga!
  • We have won practice of the year (2023) and supportive practice of the year (2024)
  • Excellent salary up to £65,000 depending on your experience (FTE)

About us:
As a growing practice we are always interested in hearing from local talent interested in working with us, because everyone is at different stages in their veterinary career, we are open to speak to anyone. So, if you are an experienced vet looking for somewhere they can mentor within a team or someone looking for support for a certificate or career development, please do get in touch.

We are currently an 11-vet practice led by Ciara and Melanie, our Practice Owners, with 6 fantastic RVNs lead by our HRVN Lois, 3 SVNs, 3 VCAs and 4 receptionists

We opened in 2014 and have grown exponentially ever since. We’re lucky to be a cohesive, supportive team, reflected in the awards won so far - practice of the year (won in April 2023, voted for by clients) and supportive practice of the year for our new graduate (won in June 2024). Our staff turnover is very low resulting in a close-knit and stable team with quite a few of us working together for many years, and we are looking forward to welcoming a new colleague into our friendly team.

About the role:

As the practice is growing, we are open to discuss this opportunity with any local veterinary talent. So, if you are looking for full time or part time, we can have a discussion to see how our practice can support you.

Benefits:

  • A very competitive salary up to £65,000 (FTE, DOE)
  • No OOH
  • CPD is encouraged
  • Certificates can be supported so have a chat with us
  • Paid membership fees RVCS/BVA etc
  • Access to the reward hub which has colleague discounts
  • 20% discount at Vets4Pets, Pets at Home and the Groom Room.

If this sounds like the perfect next step for you, please contact Ciara on Ciara.Mulhern@vetsforpets.com and she will get back to you for a confidential chat

Location: G82 1RB

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
