Veterinarians manage a varied caseload encompassing preventative medicine, diagnostics, internal medicine, dentistry, surgery, and ongoing medical care, with opportunities to work with a broader variety of species for doctors interested in expanding beyond traditional companion animal medicine.

Clinical resources include advanced diagnostic imaging, dental imaging, in-house laboratory capabilities, therapeutic equipment, dedicated dental facilities, and comprehensive pharmacy support.

The hospital promotes a collaborative working environment where veterinarians retain medical autonomy while benefiting from experienced technical support and access to additional professional resources.

The incoming Medical Director will have the opportunity to influence clinical standards, mentor fellow veterinarians, introduce new services, and help guide the continued development of the practice.

• Support veterinarian recruitment, interviewing, onboarding, and retention

• Provide clinical input into equipment and resource investments

• Assist with complex patient-care and client concerns

• Promote effective communication between veterinarians, clients, and support teams

Candidates should demonstrate strong diagnostic, surgical, dental, and general clinical skills, together with confidence managing a varied caseload.

Previous leadership or mentoring experience would be advantageous, although experienced veterinarians ready to progress into their first Medical Director position are also encouraged to apply.

Excellent communication, delegation, decision-making, and interpersonal skills are essential.

An interest in exotic animal medicine would be welcomed but is not essential.
