As the Head of Clinic, you’ll manage a dedicated team of veterinary professionals at this animal charity in London. You’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality care at this well-equipped clinic, which supports both the animals in their rehoming centre and provides free preventative treatments to the local community.

In addition to clinical work, you’ll lead and support initiatives like our Community Support Programme, Pet Refuge Scheme, and Therapaws Therapy Pet Programme, which provide essential services to vulnerable people and their pets.

• Deliver practical, compassionate care to animals in our rehoming centre and local pets.
• Provide strategic advice on veterinary matters and help shape future programmes.
• Allocate time between clinical duties and management tasks efficiently.

About You:

• MRCVS-registered, with at least 5 years of clinical experience.
• Confident in performing routine surgeries and diagnostics.
• Experienced in clinic management and team leadership.
• Flexible, with excellent time-management and prioritisation skills.
• Able to work independently and comfortable taking sole charge when necessary.

Why Join? This role offers a rare opportunity to lead in the charity sector, allowing you to gain invaluable experience while contributing to the welfare of both animals and their owners.

• A 35-hour workweek for work-life balance.
• Opportunities to work in a supportive, community-focused environment.
• A competitive salary and benefits package, including additional pay for light on-call duties (limited to animals in care).
