You’ll likely be an accomplished Clinical Director ready for your next challenge, or a high‑achieving Vet keen to maintain your clinical skills whilst using and developing your people leadership and business management skills.
You must be passionate about developing a team to deliver superior client and clinical care.
You will be a role model and advocate for our core values and prepared to consistently challenge yourself and your colleagues to live by them.
As the Senior Clinical Director you will work within Region 12’s team of SCD/SPDs, the RD, and your aligned practice leaders to provide leadership, operational and strategic direction, and deliver the P&L.
You will carry out regular practice visits, attend and present at regional meetings, and play your part in driving clinical cohesion and commercial performance of the region.
We expect you to have:
