Clinical Director

Clinical Director 
Yorkshire Vets, West Yorkshire
Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience (pro rata for part time), up to £5000 relocation allowance and a welcome bonus of up to £5000 (pro rata for part time).

Here at Yorkshire Vets, we’re looking for another Clinical Director to work alongside our 2 current full-time Clinical Directors and Practice Director to continue to grow the Yorkshire Vets group. The role will be based between our RCVS-accredited Thornbury hospital, and the other 5 local branches in Armley, Birkenshaw, Horsforth, Meanwood and Morley. Your time will be split between clinical and leadership responsibilities.  We anticipate that you would spend 1 day per week performing leadership responsibilities and the rest of your time would be spent working clinically, driving high clinical standards and supporting, mentoring and teaching your teammates.

About the role

Outside of your clinical caseload (which can be tailored around your interests), you will be working alongside our long-serving Clinical Directors, Alan and Raj and our Practice Director Katie. Other duties will include mentoring the current team, ensuring that all clinical staff receive the development that they need. Also, you’ll be responsible for Monitoring and manage sales performance of the practice along with the Practice Manager and wider Area Leadership Team. And most importantly, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that the clinical team feels happy, supported and empowered. 

Rota patterns that work for you

Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, and that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career. A typical full-time role would involve working 40 hours per week over 4 days along with the shared Saturday morning rota.
