Are you... Diligent, curious, hard-working, and a natural problem solver?

We are looking for talented individuals from a clinical sector who bring the right skills, mindset and behaviours to make a real difference. This role plays a vital part in supporting and enabling our veterinary practices to deliver outstanding care and service to their clients and pets every single day.

This is a hands‑on, field-based role (Lincolnshire / Norfolk regions) where you will visit your clinics regularly, building strong relationships with practice teams while supporting Branch Partners and Lead Vets with the operational and administrative aspects of running their practices.

As the first point of contact for operational and administrative queries, you will play a key role in freeing up clinical teams to focus on what they do best - delivering exceptional care to patients and clients.

Some of our clinics provide essential weekend services, and as part of a supportive Ops Support Manager team, you will contribute to a shared weekend rota (approximately 1 in 10 weekends, including Bank Holidays) to ensure the network is always supported.

Visit each clinic at least every two weeks, acting as the primary point of contact for Partners and Lead Vets.

Resource Planning & Rotas

Build and maintain clinic rotas working closely with the Network Administrator, ensuring clinics remain fully covered and locum support is arranged when needed.

Review appointment availability and diary structure to ensure effective diary management.

Check Workday dashboards daily for tasks and notifications including payroll activities such as timesheets or leave request and absence.

Health & Safety and Facilities maintenance

Log and manage maintenance requests, ensuring timely resolution.

Support clinics during incidents or crisis situations, escalating where appropriate.

What You’ll Bring

You’ll bring:
