Veterinary Clinician

The University of Glasgow, Small Animal Hospital is seeking to recruit an additional Veterinary Clinician to join our Out of Hours Emergency Service. Our team provide emergency cover for many local practices, and this role is an exciting opportunity to develop your skills in a wide range of both medical and surgical emergency and critical care cases. We benefit from close relationships with the specialist referral team within the hospital, and the newly launched Primary Care Practice.

This role provides the opportunity to investigate and treat cases to a high standard, plus contribute to the clinical training of undergraduate students and interns. Full-time salary is based on an average 35-hour week, plus a generous holiday allowance. This equates to an average of 10 or 11 shifts per month, allowing an excellent work-life balance. Shifts are a mixture of 7pm-8am nights, and weekend/public holiday dayshifts (7:30am-8:30pm) and backshifts (11am-11pm or 12pm-12am). The position would suit a full-time candidate or two part-time candidates. Emergency experience is ideal, but this role could also suit someone new to the ECC field, as the weekend/public holiday backshifts are alongside experienced clinicians without sole charge.

The successful candidate will hold a veterinary degree registrable with the RCVS and have post-graduate clinical experience as a veterinary surgeon. Emergency experience is ideal, but this role would also suit someone with relevant general practice experience.

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine has an excellent international reputation in teaching, clinical services and research and is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the European Association of Establishments of Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Our purpose-built hospital is one of the most sophisticated in Europe, allowing companion animals to benefit from the most advanced care available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the year from some of the best specialist vets in the world.
