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.

Find your future

For over 40 years, Martin Vets has been a trusted part of the Kirkintilloch and Lenzie communities. Our award-winning practice sits in a beautiful spot on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, just a short walk from the town centre and with excellent transport links to Glasgow and across the central belt of Scotland. Only 8 miles from the city centre, we enjoy the best of both worlds--easy access to Glasgow alongside the peaceful countryside of the Campsie Fells.

Our purpose-built practice was named Overall Winner of the Veterinary Practice Design Awards in 2013, and offers a bright, welcoming space with floor-to-ceiling windows, a spacious reception, and modern facilities. We have five consulting rooms, two theatres, a central prep and recovery area, a dedicated lab, digital and dental x-ray, plus separate dog, cat, and isolation wards--all designed to support excellent patient care.

Why join our team?

Our greatest strength is our team. We're a close-knit group of 23, including 9 Veterinary Surgeons, 5 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 1 Student Nurse, a Practice Manager, and 6 Reception/Admin staff. Many of us live locally and have been part of the practice for years, so there's a real sense of community and continuity here. We support and encourage one another--whether that's sharing knowledge, celebrating achievements, or lending a hand on busy days.

Among our team, 2 hold GP certificates and 3 more are working towards medicine certifications, reflecting our strong commitment to professional growth. We're proud of the friendly, welcoming atmosphere we've built, and of the loyal client base who value the personal care we provide to their pets. At Martin Vets, you'll feel part of a team that truly looks out for each other.
