Job description

Become a Practice Owner with Vets for Pets, and see your ambitions come to life.

Our practice ownership model is designed to make your dream a reality with a flexible investment approach. For sole ownership, the initial personal investment is £20,000. If you choose to partner with a co-owner, the investment is reduced to £10,000 per partner. We’re committed to setting you up for success, offering financial support to help you thrive every step of the way. With our dedicated partnership, you’ll be able to focus on setting your personal and professional goals and shaping your future practice from day one—all while earning a salary that lets you grow with stability and peace of mind.

Vets for Pets is a network of over 440 locally owned small animal veterinary practices. Our independent practice owners operate with complete clinical and operational autonomy, individually shaping their offering for their practice teams and the communities they serve.

Our financial support helps you skip the start-up, giving you more time to focus on setting your vision for personal and professional growth. And with a salary from day one, you can earn as you build and enjoy true work-life balance.

Make your ambitions reality at Vets for Pets Gillingham.
