Lead the Way as Clinical Lead Vet – Established Practice with an Exciting Future
Salary up to £75,000 | £5,000 Welcome Bonus | Partnership Opportunities
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Lead Vet to join our well-established and supportive team at Leeds Kirkstall Vets for Pets.
This is a fantastic opportunity to step into an established practice with a strong clinical foundation. You'll be joining a team of three employed vets, supported by a full nursing team, including four experienced RVNs, as well as a dedicated client care team. With a loyal client base, excellent facilities, and an experienced team already in place, you'll have the opportunity to focus on leading clinical standards while helping shape the next stage of the practice's growth. With exciting plans for expansion over the coming years, it's the ideal time to make a lasting impact.
As Clinical Lead, you'll work alongside the practice leadership team to maintain high standards of patient care, mentor and support your veterinary colleagues, and continue to develop efficient clinical processes and workflows. We're looking for someone who enjoys inspiring others, driving clinical excellence, and creating an environment where both patients and colleagues thrive.
Our team is close-knit, welcoming, and genuinely enjoys working together. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, compassionate care with a strong focus on low-stress handling, aiming to be both fear-free and pain-free for our patients wherever possible. Outside of work, you'll often find us hiking, bowling, enjoying meals out, or taking part in other social events.
