Job description

Veterinary Practice Manager – Lead, Inspire, Transform

Up to £50,000 | Full-Time or Part-Time Considered | Paddington

The Opportunity

Are you a natural leader with the vision and drive to shape the future of a thriving veterinary practice? This is a rare opportunity for a talented Practice Manager to take the reins in a modern, forward-thinking, independent clinic at the heart of Central London.

In this role, you’ll bridge the gap between the clinical and non-clinical teams, ensuring seamless operations, outstanding client service, and an environment where people genuinely love to work. With autonomy, responsibility, and the chance to make a lasting impact, this is not just a management role – it’s a career-defining opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive salary of up to £50,000 DOE

• Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week (part-time considered)

• Play a pivotal leadership role at the heart of a modern, independent veterinary practice

• Balance of strategic leadership and hands-on management

• Join a supportive, ambitious team that values people as much as pets

What You’ll Bring

Proven experience in leadership, HR or practice management (veterinary experience desirable but not essential)

A proactive, highly organised approach with excellent problem-solving skills

Outstanding communication and interpersonal abilities

Confidence with IT systems (experience with PMS software an advantage)

Strong financial awareness and ability to manage budgets

Passion for developing people, driving performance and building culture

Nursing background desirable, to truly bridge clinical and non-clinical operations

Your Responsibilities

• Oversee the smooth day-to-day running of the practice

• Lead, support and inspire a team of veterinary and non-clinical professionals

• Ensure compliance with regulations, policies, and industry standards

• Manage budgets, financial performance and operational efficiency

• Handle client care, feedback and service delivery at the highest standard

• Support recruitment, HR processes and team development

• Contribute to marketing initiatives and practice growth strategies

• Foster a collaborative, supportive and thriving workplace culture

The Benefits

• Salary up to £50,000 DOE

• 25 days annual leave, plus your birthday off

• Salary sacrifice pension scheme

• Regular company social events – because team culture matters

• Work within a modern, well-equipped practice alongside world-class veterinary professionals

• A secure, independent, and growing business that invests in people

• Genuine opportunity to grow, innovate and make the role your own

The Environment

This is a practice that combines modern facilities, a collaborative team spirit, and a people-first culture. You’ll be part of a forward-thinking, supportive group where your leadership will directly shape the future of the business, the development of the team, and the quality of client and patient care.
