This is an outstanding opportunity for a forward-thinking vet who is passionate about clinical excellence, mentoring colleagues, and helping shape the future direction of a thriving practice.

• Work within a large, highly skilled veterinary team
• Influence clinical governance and standards of care
• Mentor and support colleagues across the practice
• Access to modern facilities and advanced equipment within a Tier 3 hospital environment
• Strong focus on collaboration, wellbeing and professional growth

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver exceptional clinical care across a varied caseload
• Support and deputise for the Clinical Director when required
• Promote positive clinical leadership across the team
• Support colleague development and clinical decision making
• Maintain high standards of communication, case management and patient care
• Handle client concerns professionally and empathetically
• Manage workload efficiently within a busy hospital setting

Benefits

• 6.6 weeks holiday including bank holidays
• £1,750 CPD allowance, enhanced for CertAVP holders
• RCVS and additional memberships paid
• VDS cover
• Enhanced family leave policies
• Company sick pay
• Annual pay reviews
• Genuine career progression opportunities within a supportive veterinary group
