Vet Dermatology Referrals are seeking a full-time Practice Manager to join The Dermatology Vets, a well-established specialist referral clinic based in the historic Ibrox area of Glasgow. Operating from a beautiful heritage stone building, our clinic has been at the forefront of veterinary dermatology for over 25 years, supporting first opinion practices and their clients with expert referrals for a wide range of skin and ear conditions in dogs and cats. With a team bringing over 50 years of combined experience, we are proud of our reputation for clinical excellence and dedicated patient care.

Due to an internal promotion, we are now looking for a driven and enthusiastic Practice Manager to oversee the day-to-day running of the clinic. You will work closely with a supportive admin team who manage reception, debt, and insurance processes, ensuring smooth and efficient operations within a close-knit environment. This role requires strong communication skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to think ahead, adapt, and continuously improve processes.

IVC Evidensia is the UK and Europe’s leading veterinary care group, made up of over 900 practices and referral hospitals, united by a shared purpose of happier animals, happier owners.

Our people are supported to make more clinical impact, access more career opportunities, and play an active role in their local and professional communities. Through investment in learning, innovation, and wellbeing, we create environments where our teams can grow in confidence, capability, and fulfilment—at every stage of their career.
