The award-winning Small Animal Hospital is located on the stunning Garscube Estate Campus, a 10-minute drive from the vibrant “West End” of Glasgow and less than one hour from Loch Lomond. The hospital is staffed by a friendly and dynamic multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, resident/interns, RVNs and support staff, allowing us to offer a range of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions to approximately 17,000 cases a year.
The hospital has 4 fully equipped theatres, a fabulous diagnostic imaging suite with on-site MRI and CT, C-arm fluoroscopy and high specification GE ultrasound machines, a range of Olympus and Karl Storz endoscopes for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, an on-site linear accelerator, dedicated ICU and a busy radioiodine unit.
In addition to a well-equipped in-house laboratory we also have the advantage of being supported by a fantastic team of pathologists, clinical pathologists and infectious disease experts just 5 minutes’ walk away in the Veterinary Diagnostic Services Unit.
School of Veterinary Medicine
The University of Glasgow’s School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine is renowned for teaching, research and clinical provision, attracting students, researchers and clinicians from around the world. Our internationally accredited school provides expert referral services via the Small Animal Hospital, the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare and the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health & Welfare, alongside a full range of Veterinary Diagnostic Services for animal owners and referring practitioners throughout the UK and beyond.
The school is ranked 1st in the UK for Veterinary Medicine in the Complete University Guide 2022 for the fourth consecutive year, and was ranked top amongst the UK veterinary schools for research quality in the Research Excellence Framework (REF2014).
In addition to the highly acclaimed Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery degree, the School offers an MSci/BSc(Hons)/BSc Veterinary Biosciences programme, dedicated to those areas of science that underpin veterinary medicine. In 2017, the School introduced an MSc Advanced Practice in Veterinary Nursing, a flexible postgraduate online distance learning programme for Registered Veterinary Nurses and Vet Technicians which can be completed part-time over 3-6 years.
The School holds an Athena SWAN Silver departmental award, recognising the commitment at all levels to promoting gender equity, racial equality, and widening participation.
Opportunities
We are looking to recruit dynamic and enthusiastic colleagues to multiple disciplines, to help support and build our existing teams. The ideal candidates will hold a Diploma in their chosen speciality, or be residency trained and Diploma-eligible. They will enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide expert opinion on a range of clinical cases. Interprofessional support from specialist nurses, radiographers and physiotherapists ensures every case receives a high level of care within the hospital and a tailored treatment plan on discharge.
As a university hospital our key ethos is education and we wish to promote evidence based medicine through varied and impactful clinical research promoting intellectual curiosity and academic excellence in all our students (undergraduates, interns and residents). Clinical contribution to the undergraduate veterinary programme through teaching an assessment is an important part of the role to bring context and engage students in clinical reasoning from the outset and is one of the reasons we rank so highly as a veterinary school. Support and additional training is available for all clinicians whether or not they are from an academic background to develop effective and innovative learning and teaching practices to enhance student success.
We are keen to recruit colleagues who:
- Can offer expertise in clinical practice
- Can contribute to our team approach to veterinary medicine
- Can develop and contribute to the clinical teaching to undergraduates, interns and residents
- Want to undertake clinical scholarship contributing to the School’s excellence in clinical service and teaching
Our mission is to provide world-class care for our patients, and a world-class service for their owners and our referring vets.

Other Opportunities
In addition to specialist roles, we currently have the following vacancies available in other areas:
Living in Glasgow
A UNESCO City of Music, a vibrant arts and culture scene, a food-lover’s delight, and a shopper’s paradise. Just some of the highlights of the ‘friendliest city in the world’. As well as that accolade by the Rough Guides poll, Glasgow has also been named a must visit destination by publications including the New York Times, The Guardian, and Wanderlust.
Music
The city hosts an average of 130 music events a week catering for every taste; from rock to rap, and classical to country. Glasgow also has a world class club scene playing host to some of the world’s top DJs.
Shopping
Outside of London’s West End, Glasgow is frequently voted the best place for shopping in the UK. A must-visit destination for any shop-a-holic, it houses high street chains, international designers, and independent retailers. The West End, home to the University of Glasgow, is bustling with vintage fashion, vinyl stores, and second-hand bookshops.
Arts and Culture
Glasgow’s arts scene has gone from strength to strength, and is the base for five internationally renowned performing arts companies including the National Theatre of Scotland and Scottish Ballet. The city has several world-class museums, which are free to the public, and the city’s architecture is a work of art in itself.
Food and drink
You can be in Glasgow and taste the world with its many diverse restaurants, cafes, and bars. And if you’ve yet to sample the delights of haggis and whisky, Glasgow is the place to be.
The City and Beyond
Glasgow has all the opportunities and excitement of a big city but its compact size means you can quickly travel from one vibrant district to the next. You could be relaxing in one of its many parks, before shopping in the quirky West End, and then dancing until the wee small hours in the Merchant City.
And when you fancy getting out of the city you can reach the stunning Loch Lomond in just 30 minutes, climb one of our many breath-taking Munros, play golf at one of Scotland’s many world-class courses, visit one of our ancient castles, or go further North and search for Nessie! Scotland has also just been named the world’s most beautiful country by Rough Guides.
Relocating to Glasgow
Choosing to relocate to Glasgow is a big decision. There are numerous things to be considered, such as the costs of moving, the cost of living, and where exactly to relocate to. We have created a guide to aide you in the decision making process.
