  • Explore your full potential

     

    A rare opportunity has arisen for a Director of Practice & Clinical Standards to lead The Veterinary Centre Glasgow, a long-established small animal practice with deep roots in Glasgow's West End. Established in 1945 and proudly part of inspiring vet care since 2019, this is an exciting opportunity for a driven, forward-thinking veterinary leader to shape the future of a thriving practice.

     

    In this role you'll work closely with an experienced and engaged team to drive clinical excellence, support practice performance, and create an environment where colleagues feel empowered to deliver exceptional patient and client care. You'll lead from the front, balancing your own clinical work with strategic leadership, mentoring your team and continually developing the practice.

     

    This role is backed by an experienced team of 17 colleagues, all committed to providing outstanding care. If you're an experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking to take the next step into a true leadership position, or an established Clinical Director looking for a fresh challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

     

    Leadership with balance

     

    We understand that great leaders need a healthy work-life balance too. This full-time position is based around 40 hours over 4 days from a 6-day working week, offering an excellent balance between leadership responsibilities and clinical work. There is a 1 in 5 weekend rota, with no out-of-hours or on-call commitments, allowing you to enjoy your time outside of work.

    The Veterinary Centre Glasgow is a well-equipped, single-site small animal practice located in the vibrant West End of Glasgow, offering the perfect mix of city living and community-focused practice. Earlier this year, the practice underwent an exciting refurbishment, including the addition of a dedicated dental suite with dental radiography. The team has already embraced this investment, achieving dental procedures at 4.3% of caseload, with plenty of opportunity to continue developing this area of the practice.You'll have the opportunity to influence future investment, support clinical development across the team and continue driving high standards throughout the practice.
