Opening in November, this is a rare opportunity to build a hospital from the ground up while shaping its clinical standards, culture, and long-term success. Backed by a veterinarian-led organisation that champions clinical autonomy, you'll have the freedom to lead the hospital your way while benefiting from extensive operational, recruitment, marketing, HR, and leadership support. This role is ideal for an experienced veterinarian looking to combine clinical excellence with genuine ownership and leadership.

Role Description and Responsibilities

As the Founding Partner Veterinarian, you'll divide your time between clinical practice and hospital leadership, providing comprehensive general practice care including preventative medicine, diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, and urgent care during business hours. You'll recruit, mentor, and develop your veterinary and support teams while establishing clinical protocols and maintaining exceptional standards of patient care. Working closely with the Hospital Manager, you'll also help drive the strategic and financial growth of the practice, making key decisions that influence the long‑term success of the hospital while building a positive, collaborative culture from day one.

Practice Details

This purpose‑built hospital has been designed to provide high‑quality companion animal medicine within a modern general practice setting.

You'll be supported by an experienced Hospital Manager and the wider Mission Pet Health leadership team, while also having access to an extensive network of veterinary professionals across the organisation. This is an opportunity to build not just a hospital, but a team and culture that reflects your own clinical values and leadership style.
