Leadership Opportunity at The London Cat Clinic

We're looking for a thoughtful and visionary full-time Clinical Director to help shape our next chapter. This is more than a management role - it’s about advancing clinical excellence, enabling continuous improvement, and inspiring teams while nurturing a culture where colleagues can thrive.

You’ll be part clinician, part strategist, and part team builder—leading with empathy, intelligence, and purpose. And be there for our patients, nine lives and counting.

At TLCC, we live by our CATS values:

Committed · Accountable · Trusted · Striving for Excellence

We offer:

• A values-driven, gold-standard, purpose-built feline-only clinic
• Competitive salary up to £85k (depending on experience)
• 4-day working week, no out-of-hours or on-call, 1 weekend in 4
• Bonus / profit share potential and private healthcare
• Sign-on bonus for non-agency candidates

Clinical Qualifications & Experience:

We’re looking for a confident and capable clinician with a strong foundation and enthusiasm for mentoring others, while continuing to grow themselves. You’ll hold (or be near completing) a Postgraduate qualification in Feline or Small Animal Medicine, and be confident managing complex cases with a thoughtful, methodical approach.

We have an exceptional team of vets, nurses, and front-of-house staff, and you’ll be expected to support and coach them clinically. Ideally, you’ll also bring:

• Proficiency in feline dentistry, including radiography and extractions
• Solid experience in abdominal ultrasonography
• Hands-on experience with endoscopy and eagerness to develop further
• Interest and experience in cardiology and echocardiography

None of these are deal-breakers - but together they reflect the clinical maturity we’re looking for.
