Dumbarton Vets for Pets are growing and because of this they are looking ideally for an experienced Vet to join us. The team have a very low staff turnover. You will be supported by a wealth of experience with most of the team having between 3- and 18-years qualified experience. The practice believes in personal development. You will be highly encouraged and supported to progress in your career with certificate and CPD support. There are vets working towards their exotics and internal medicine certificate. Consult only can be considered. This role can be full or part time from 30 hours +. Weekends are worked on a 1.5 in 8 basis for full time or up to a 1 in 10 basis for part time team members. The team is very sociable and like to do lots of things outside of work such as a running club and yoga! We have won practice of the year (2023) and supportive practice of the year (2024). Excellent salary up to £65,000 depending on your experience (FTE).

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are currently an 11-vet practice led by Ciara and Melanie, our Practice Owners, with 6 fantastic RVNs lead by our HRVN Lois, 3 SVNs, 3 VCAs and 4 receptionists. We opened in 2014 and have grown exponentially ever since. We’re lucky to be a cohesive, supportive team, reflected in the awards won so far - practice of the year (won in April 2023, voted for by clients) and supportive practice of the year for our new graduate (won in June 2024). Our staff turnover is very low resulting in a close-knit and stable team with quite a few of us working together for many years, and we are looking forward to welcoming a new colleague into our friendly team.
About the role
As the practice is growing, we are open to discuss this opportunity with any local veterinary talent. So, if you are looking for full time or part time, we can have a discussion to see how our practice can support you.
