Lead Veterinary Surgeon/ Partner- Cheltenham
Practice Ownership Could Be Closer Than You Think
Have you ever dreamed of owning your own veterinary practice, but felt overwhelmed by the what ifs?
Maybe it’s the fear of going it alone, the admin headaches, or the uncertainty around how you'd eventually step away. The good news? Practice ownership doesn’t have to be daunting—with the right support, it can be the most exciting and rewarding move in your career.
Imagine This:
You’re running your own clinic with full clinical independence. You’re backed by a trusted support network that handles the day-to-day admin, offers expert guidance when needed, and even provides a clear, guaranteed route for exiting the business—so you can focus on your patients, your team, and your growth.
Sound like the dream? I have got just the opportunity.
The Practice
Located in the beautiful town of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, this RCVS-accredited, small animal practice is newly refurbished and equipped with everything you need to thrive, including:
• ECG
• Endoscope
• Tonopen
• Ultrasound
• X-ray
• In-house laboratory
• And more
It’s also been awarded Silver Cat Friendly Clinic status by the ISFM, reflecting their commitment to feline care.
The current team includes 1 Vet (soon to be 2), 4 RVNs, and a CCA—all dedicated to delivering exceptional care and compassion to clients and their pets.
Why Cheltenham?
Recently named the second-best place to live in the UK by The Sunday Times, Cheltenham offers the best of both worlds—stunning Regency architecture, a lively cultural scene, excellent schools, and the natural beauty of the Cotswolds right on your doorstep. Whether you’re after a family-friendly town or a vibrant lifestyle, Cheltenham ticks all the boxes.
Who We’re Looking For
We're looking for a vet with vision—someone ready to lead, inspire, and shape the future of a thriving practice. You’ll be committed to high standards of patient care, passionate about creating great client experiences, and excited to grow a team and a business.
Leadership or business experience is welcome, but not essential. What matters most is your drive, ambition, and desire to make your mark—with the full support of a team that’s done it before.
What You’ll Get
This is more than just a job—it’s a pathway to true practice ownership, with a structure that works for you:
• Monthly profit share
• Growing share value over time
• Guaranteed equity buy-back every two years
• Hands-on support with operations, HR, marketing, finance, and more
• Freedom to make clinical and team decisions
It’s ownership with clarity, flexibility, and peace of mind—so you can build a business that’s not only successful but sustainable.
