Veterinary Surgeon – Partnership Role – Merseyside

Have you ever wanted to run your own practice but felt unsure about taking the leap?

About the Role

With the right backing, practice ownership doesn’t have to feel daunting — it can be the most fulfilling stage of your veterinary career. You’ll have the freedom to lead your team and shape clinical decisions, while a specialist support network takes care of business essentials such as HR, finance, marketing, and operations. Alongside this, you’ll benefit from monthly profit share and a guaranteed equity buy-back every two years.

This partnership structure allows you to enjoy the independence of ownership while removing the stress of business management. You’ll have the time and energy to concentrate on your people, your clients, and their pets.

• Ownership with support – run your own branch with full business, finance, and operational backing.
• Supportive, skilled team – experienced vets and nursing team
• Security & growth – profit share, guaranteed buy-out options, and the potential to build equity worth over £1.2m within 10 years.
• Comprehensive backing – expert help across clinical, HR, finance, marketing, and facilities, plus access to a network of like-minded Partners.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a motivated GP vet ready to take the lead in developing the practice and growing its caseload. Whether you’re an established clinician or earlier in your career but eager to progress, you’ll have solid support from a strong regional network.

Previously a busy two-vet clinic, the practice is expanding to 2.5 FTEs but has recently relied on locum cover, creating a fantastic opening for someone keen to build a thriving and profitable branch. The clinic is well-equipped with multiparameter monitors, in-house labs, digital radiography, dental suite, ultrasound, and tonopen, with referral support nearby for advanced procedures and overnight care. You’ll be leading a capable and enthusiastic team, with access to wider clinical expertise whenever needed.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a confident GP vet who is committed to excellent client and patient care. You’ll have the ability to lead, inspire, and ensure every pet receives the very best treatment.

Leadership or business background is useful, but not essential — what matters most is your ambition, dedication, and desire to succeed. Full support will be provided to help you thrive in this role.

Why Choose Partnership?

This model offers the freedom of practice ownership with the reassurance of ongoing operational and financial support. You’ll also be part of a wide community of Branch Partners, sharing knowledge, ideas, and experiences while building a practice to be proud of.

Financial Benefits & Exit Options
• Monthly profit share plus guaranteed exit payment when you choose to leave the partnership
• Exit valuations increase over time (multiples applied at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 years)
• Example: Drawings can grow from £110k at Year 2 to £178k at Year 10, with equity increasing from £300k to over £1.2m*
• Equity purchased depends on clinic valuation and affordability, with financing options available

Support Provided
• Clinical support network from experienced vets and specialists
• Dedicated back-office support (finance, HR, marketing, procurement, facilities)
• Regional Operations support to help run the practice smoothly
• Initial drawings safeguarded (minimum £75k salary if profits are lower in early stages)
• Financing available via a deferred payment scheme, with loan options at competitive rates
