Job description

Lead the Way: Clinical Lead Opportunity to shape our patient care. Salary up to £80,000. £5,000 welcome bonus. Partnership Opportunities

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lead to join our friendly team at Leeds Kirkstall Vets for Pets.

Our new Clinical Lead will mentor and develop a growing team of two vets, alongside a strong nursing team, including four RVNs. The practice offers scope to shape current practices, streamline workflows, and drive clinical excellence for improved patient outcomes. You will lead on standards and processes, implement positive change, and help us become the practice of choice for pet-owning Leeds locals.

Our team values an inclusive culture, clinical care excellence, and a fear-free, pain-free approach for our patients. We enjoy activities outside of work such as hiking, meals out, and bowling. The practice provides excellent facilities with all necessary equipment and space, as well as regular Journal Club and Clinical Meetings.

Located in Leeds, the third largest city in the UK, known for its green spaces and vibrant community, easily accessible by road, rail, and air. Leeds offers award-winning parks and proximity to the Yorkshire countryside, perfect for exploring in your free time.

We are seeking a full-time (37.5 hours/week) candidate with no OOHs, and Saturdays on a 1:3 rota basis. We are open to compressed hours for better work-life balance.

The salary is competitive, up to £80,000 depending on experience, plus a £5,000 relocation/welcome bonus. Benefits include pension, healthcare, paid memberships, career progression, discounts (up to 30% at Pets at Home), and relocation packages including visa sponsorship, as we are an A+ rated sponsor.

We support CPD and encourage further qualifications or certificates in your areas of interest.

Candidates should have small animal experience as a general practitioner, excellent people skills, and comfort with sole charge, while enjoying teamwork. As Jo, our current Clinical Lead, says, "This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our patients and the team that care for them."

We are also seeking potential Practice Owners!

Our partnership model is open to Vets, RVNs, and experienced Practice Managers interested in ownership. It offers brand recognition, access to over 8 million Pets Club customers, and a community of 600+ practice owners with professional support. If you aim to build a successful, lasting practice, we want to hear from you.

Pets see people without bias or discrimination. We value diversity and encourage everyone to be themselves. Even if your skills don't exactly match, your unique contribution through your values and behaviors is welcome.
