Practice Manager

Vets for Pets; Bury St Edmunds; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 35,000; Part time

Job description

Are you a natural leader who has the passion to inspire and motivate others in a fast-paced and dynamic veterinary surgery? Bury St Edmunds Vets for Pets have a new opportunity for a Practice Manager to join their team!

Our delightful veterinary practice based on the Morton Retail Park in Bury St Edmunds enjoys an excellent reputation within the local community. You’ll be joining a hard-working and inclusive team who are passionate about being at the heart of the local community and our practice provides excellent facilities.

This is a part-time role working 24 hours per week and weekends on a rota basis which can be discussed at interview.

What we’re looking for:

This position would ideally suit an RVN looking to take a step back from a full-on clinical role into a more management role whilst still doing the occasional nurse shift to keep their hand in and skills up to date. This role is very flexible, and your week can be split between management and nursing if you prefer. However, any previous management experience within a veterinary practice would also be advantageous.

As our Practice Manager, you’ll ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the business and support our Practice Owners in achieving key business objectives. Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing daily operations to ensure seamless service delivery
• Upholding our ethos as the friendliest practice in the area
• Managing and implementing HR policies for a valued team including supporting mental health
• Resolving challenges swiftly to maintain excellent client service
• Recruiting, training, rota and holiday management
• Managing your own schedule to achieve operational goals.

Key Requirements:

• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate, encourage, and manage the team effectively.
• Proven team management experience.
• Strong communication, organisational, and time-management skills.
• Dedication to building strong relationships with clients and the team.

Benefits

In return, we offer such benefits as 20% discount at the Vet Group, Pets at Home and the Groom Room, access to discounts and cashbacks, in-house career development opportunities, pension, and holiday allowance.

We want our colleagues to be as diverse as our clients. Our teams are inclusive and celebrate difference so if you meet our role requirements, we’d love to hear from you.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
