We are in search of a dedicated and passionate veterinarian, following the successful four-year tenure of one of our colleagues who is returning to the UK. Our outgoing veterinarian is available to provide professional references and discuss the position further with interested candidates.

This not only helps the community but also provides our veterinarians with the opportunity to develop their skills in treating underfunded animals.
At Glenfield, you will be part of a compassionate and close-knit team who love to chat and tell jokes with each other during the workday. Our veterinarians will assist each other in a caring and respectful manner whenever asked, our focus is on treating the animals not scoring points off one another.
