Leadership Opportunity Across Two Thriving Practices

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Head Veterinary Surgeon to join our leadership team as our much-loved Head Vet prepares to relocate overseas in the next year. We want to recruit now to provide amble time to settle into the role.

This is a rare chance to step into an established and respected leadership role across two successful and growing Cambridge practices, with Partnership Opportunity in the future, for the right candidate.

We are looking for a clinical leader who wants to shape the future of our teams, support the development of colleagues, and help us continue our mission of bringing outstanding veterinary care and advanced procedures into the first-opinion setting.

About Us

Together, our practices comprise:

• 9 Veterinary Surgeons
• 10 Registered Veterinary Nurses
• Dedicated support teams
• Strong leadership and management support.

At Bar Hill we have developed advanced endoscopy and endosurgery services that attract cases from surrounding practices, alongside a busy first-opinion caseload.

Our vision is to bridge the gap between first-opinion and referral practice by offering more advanced diagnostics and treatments at accessible prices, whilst maintaining continuity of care for patients and clients.

• Drive clinical excellence and continuous improvement
• Support recruitment, retention and team engagement

This is a genuine leadership role where your ideas and influence will help determine the future direction of the business.

Clinical Opportunities

Alongside a varied first-opinion caseload, you'll have access to:

• Advanced imaging
• Flexible and rigid endoscopy
• Laparoscopic surgery
• Purpose-built facilities

A particular interest in endoscopy or endosurgery would be welcomed, although it is not essential. Full support and training can be provided for candidates interested in developing these skills.

What We're Looking For

You might already be a Head Vet, Senior Vet or experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking for your next challenge.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who:

• Leads by example
• Supports and develops colleagues
• Enjoys coaching and mentoring
• Has strong clinical standards
• Wants to make a meaningful impact on practice culture
• Shares our belief that exceptional patient care and exceptionalcolleague experience go hand in hand

• Four-day week as standard
• Paid lunch breaks
• Enhanced CPD support
• Certificate funding available
• Professional memberships paid
• Relocation package available for the right candidate
• Genuine opportunity to influence and grow two successful practices

Join Us

Come and help us redefine what first-opinion practice can achieve. Location: CB1 3ET / CB23 8DZ
