Job description

Are you an experienced veterinarian ready for a new leadership challenge? If you’re searching for a practice where you can shape the future, guide a developing team, and grow your own professional strengths, this could be your ideal next step. This independently owned practice, led by a partner celebrating a decade with the clinic, offers the rare opportunity to influence clinical standards, nurture junior team members, and even expand a specialism of your own. If you’re looking for a place to build something meaningful, they’d love to meet you.

You’ll be joining a warm, dedicated team that includes two vets, four RVNs, an SVN, a VCA and four client care assistants. The practice sits in the heart of beautiful Northamptonshire, surrounded by countryside, local amenities, and easy transport links, including direct trains to London. With an exciting relaunch and rebrand underway and plans for future expansion, this is a pivotal moment to become part of the next chapter.

They actively invest in professional development and encourage colleagues to pursue their interests. Whether you’re aiming for a certificate or a postgraduate qualification, they are ready to support your ambitions. Facilities are well‑equipped, ensuring you have the tools and space you need to deliver excellent patient care every day.

While they ideally seek someone full time, they are happy to discuss a working pattern that suits both you and the practice. The weekend rota currently sits at one in three Saturdays, with limited cover to ensure fairness for all. There will be some sole‑charge work, but no out‑of‑hours responsibilities.

Benefits

• Competitive salary of up to £60,000 (dependent on experience)
• 5.6 weeks of annual leave
• Contributory pension scheme
• Private healthcare
• Generous CPD allowances
• Full payment of RCVS, BVA and VDS memberships
• Support for certificates where appropriate
• Relocation packages available for UK or international candidates, including visa sponsorship if required

If you’re driven by clinical excellence, passionate about patient care, and excited to take on a role where you can truly make your mark, they would love to welcome you into the team.
