Red Sector Recruitment is delighted to be working with a forward-thinking, independent veterinary practice in South Glasgow to recruit an experienced Veterinary Surgeon. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a well-established, integrative and holistic practice that is redefining first-opinion veterinary care in Scotland.
We know this practice well — in fact, we secured a registered veterinary nurse who has been working at the practice for nearly 3 years and is incredibly happy, which speaks volumes about the culture, leadership and working environment.
This role would suit a Veterinary Surgeon who values patient-centred care, strong client relationships and clinical autonomy, and who is either experienced in, or open to, integrative and complementary medicine alongside conventional veterinary practice.
The Opportunity
This is a full-time Veterinary Surgeon position within a busy, independent small animal practice serving a loyal and engaged client base across Glasgow and the surrounding Southside communities. Clients actively seek a practice that offers choice, transparency and a holistic approach to their pets’ health and wellbeing.
The practice offers everything you would expect from a high-quality first opinion clinic — consulting, surgery, diagnostics and inpatient care — while also embracing a broad range of complementary and integrative therapies, including:
* Acupuncture
* Herbal medicine
* Laser therapy
* Nutrition-focused care and education
Whether you already have experience in integrative medicine or are a more conventional vet with a curiosity to expand your skill set, full support, mentorship and funded training are available.
Why This Practice?
* Truly integrative and holistic ethos — combining evidence-based conventional medicine with complementary therapies
* Independent practice with authentic, flexible leadership
* Strong emphasis on wellbeing, culture and team happiness
* 20-minute consultations, protected admin time and no out-of-hours
* A judgement-free, compassionate environment for clients, patients and staff
* Excellent reputation across Glasgow for personalised, ethical veterinary care
The team is multi-disciplinary, highly supportive and united by shared values. Collaboration, communication and kindness are central to how the practice operates — both internally and with clients.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who:
* Is experienced in first-opinion practice
* Enjoys building long-term client relationships
* Communicates clearly, empathetically and confidently
* Values evidence-based medicine while being open to integrative approaches
* Works well within a close-knit, supportive team
* An interest in surgery, integrative medicine, nutrition or additional qualifications would be advantageous but is by no means essential — development is actively encouraged.
Salary & Benefits Salary :
1. £40,000 – £60,000 DOE (with scope for higher earnings based on experience and qualifications)
2. 28 days annual leave plus 7
