Clinical Director - Cambridgeshire

Fantastic opportunity for a Clinical Director to join a well-respected Tier-3 small animal hospital in Cambridgeshire.

• Supportive and experienced team of Veterinary staff including certificate holders in medicine, cardiology, dermatology, and ECC
• State-of-the‑art technology including digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopes, multi‑parameter anaesthetic monitoring, and tonometry

Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon or a current Clinical Director looking for a new challenge? At Purovets we have an exceptional opportunity to lead a Tier‑3 small animal hospital in Cambridgeshire. Our client operates a busy 24‑hour first‑opinion small animal hospital with five branch surgeries and a state‑of‑the‑art rehabilitation centre. With over a century of providing top‑tier veterinary care, they pride themselves on delivering gold‑standard veterinary medicine. The tier‑3 hospital is equipped with excellent facilities and cutting‑edge equipment.

As the Clinical Director you will oversee the overall leadership of the practice, driving forward clinical services, associate engagement and development, practice growth, and robust commercial performance. While the role is predominantly based in the main hospital, you will also be responsible for the branches in the surrounding Cambridgeshire area.

You will join a supportive and collaborative team of vets, nurses and support staff, including many certificate holders in medicine, cardiology, dermatology and ECC. Continuing Professional Development (CPD), including certificate study, is actively supported and encouraged.

The hospital is fully equipped to handle comprehensive case workups in‑house, featuring digital radiography (including dental radiography), an advanced ultrasound machine with a wide range of probes, video‑endoscopy (gastroscope, bronchoscope and small rigid endoscopes), multi‑parameter anaesthetic monitoring and tonometry. Recently, a new wing has been added to the hospital, boasting a state‑of‑the‑art operating theatre, treatment rooms and a tranquil cat ward. Additionally, the facility includes a purpose‑built physiotherapy and hydrotherapy unit with an aquatic treadmill and K‑Laser, operated by two qualified physiotherapists.

This role is ideal for an experienced Clinical Director who prefers a predominantly managerial, non‑clinical caseload, although there is flexibility to maintain clinical involvement for those who desire it. Experienced vets aspiring to take the next step in their careers are also encouraged to apply, provided they have some managerial and leadership experience. A passion for delivering the highest standards of service and outcomes for patients, clients and associates is essential.

The Rota:

• Full time role – 40 hour week
• 4 or 5 day week considered
• No OOHs

The Benefits:

• Excellent salary up to £85,000 DOE
• 5 weeks holiday plus bank holidays
• Birthday Leave
• Private medical insurance
