A high-performing, forward-thinking practice in East London is searching for a Head Vet to take clinical leadership to the next level. This is more than a title – it’s a genuine chance to shape how medicine is delivered day-to-day, influence team development, and be part of a practice with strong direction and serious investment in clinical quality.

The team already has a strong base of experience – including interests in orthopaedics, BOAS, and exotics – and they’re looking for someone who’s not just clinically sound, but driven to elevate those around them. The current clinical culture is collaborative and CPD-rich, with a big focus on building team confidence and progression.

The setup is modern, spacious, and well-resourced – everything you’d expect from a group that’s prioritising sustainability, patient experience, and long-term retention. There’s also genuine opportunity to make your mark, with ongoing backing from a supportive leadership team who actually listen.

What’s on offer:

  • Salary up to £90k DOE
  • 4-day week with 1:4 weekends
  • No OOH (on-call for inpatient phone support only)
  • Funded CPD with tailored leadership development
  • Income protection, enhanced family leave & electric car scheme
  • Bonuses
  • A genuinely good group of people

If you're a vet who's ready to lead — not just in title, but through influence and quality — this could be a great match.
