Ideal for an ambitious Veterinary Surgeon with leadership experience, the successful candidate will lead a thriving practice equipped with digital X-ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory and modern diagnostic facilities. Comprehensive operational, financial and clinical support allows partners to focus on delivering outstanding patient care and growing the practice.

• Opportunity to build equity, with projected values exceeding £1.2 million over time*.
• Flexible finance options, including deferred payment schemes.

Comprehensive Support

Partners receive dedicated support from finance, HR, marketing, procurement, facilities and Regional Operations teams, alongside business coaching and access to an experienced veterinary network. Guaranteed minimum drawings of £75,000 are available during the early stages if practice profits are below expectations.

Candidate Requirements

The ideal candidate will be an RCVS Registered Veterinary Surgeon with previous leadership or mentoring experience, excellent clinical and communication skills, and a passion for delivering exceptional patient and client care while developing a successful team.
