You'll deliver high-quality first-opinion care across consultations, surgery, and diagnostics while working alongside a collaborative team of experienced colleagues, many holding certificate qualifications in Surgery, Medicine, Nutrition, Diagnostic Imaging, and Feline Medicine.

Part-time and job-share arrangements are actively welcomed, with working patterns open for discussion.
Based on Scotland's beautiful west coast, you'll enjoy stunning beaches, coastal walks, and countryside on your doorstep, with excellent transport links to Glasgow for easy access to one of Scotland's most vibrant cities.
