Why choose Polmont and Grangemouth Vets?

One of our new graduate vets Julia shared her experience of working at Polmont and Grangemouth vets:

“When choosing a practice right out of veterinary school, it is so important to choose one to help you develop into the best vet you can be. I think choosing Polmont vets was absolutely the right decision for me. Over the last 2 years, I have grown from a new grad into a confident vet through the supportive and amazing staff here.

Every vet here is very passionate about providing the best care for all animals in their care, willing and able to support you when you need it. I have greatly enjoyed my time here and the main reason is the incredible team here, the nurses are excellent at their jobs and are very knowledgeable. The reception and management team together manage the diary extremely well and triage phone emergencies to the best of their abilities.

If you are looking for a new job with a kind, supportive team and one that will help you grow your skills, I would highly recommend Polmont & Grangemouth Vets.”
