Associate Clinical Director – Veterinary Surgeon
A unique clinical leadership opportunity with a pathway towards Clinical Director
We are seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking to take the next step in their career and develop into a future Clinical Director role.
This is a unique opportunity to join the practice leadership team as Associate Clinical Director, working closely with the Clinical Director to support both the clinical direction and operational success of the practice.
The role sits directly beneath the Clinical Director and offers the opportunity to:
- Influence standards
- Support colleagues
- Help shape the future of the hospital
- Remain actively involved in clinical work and patient care
This is not a traditional management position—it is designed for a Vet who enjoys leading through knowledge, experience, and collaboration. The role does not include direct line management responsibilities or accountability for practice P&L.
