Overview
Taylor Veterinary Practice offers an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and enthusiastic Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our large, friendly, and welcoming team of over 60 staff. Located in the southside of Glasgow, we are proud to be one of the world’s oldest veterinary practices, having served our community’s animals for nearly two centuries.

Our team delivers exceptional patient care across our busy main branch in Cathkin and three consulting-only branches in East Kilbride and Clarkston. Flexibility to travel between these sites is essential to fully embrace this role.
Facilities and Growth
Our recently renovated practice features state-of-the-art facilities, including walk-in kennels, a fully equipped in-house laboratory, multi-parameter monitors, ultrasound, digital and dental X-rays — everything needed to provide top-quality daily care.
