Position Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen at Lawrie Veterinary Group, where we are looking to recruit an experienced and highly motivated Senior Veterinary Surgeon for our expanding team. We have a varied and interesting first opinion and referral caseload, especially when it comes to our exotic animal patients. Your duties would include supporting the clinical team and the successful running of their clinic alongside the Clinical Director, Senior Vets, Head Nurses, and Practice Managers. You will also be responsible for driving clinical standards and supporting and mentoring colleagues to ensure we offer the best care to our patients, clients, and colleagues.
Work-Life Balance
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that's why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career.
The full-time rota for this position will include working 40 hours over 4 days per week; however, we are open to discussing part-time hours for the right candidate. Typically, you will be working two operating shifts and two consulting shifts per week. Weekends are on a rota basis and we do cover our own inpatients during evenings and weekends. There is no out-of-hours or on-call requirement.
About Us
The Lawrie Vet Group is a busy small animal and exotic practice with well-established branches in Cumbernauld and Falkirk.
