Clinical Lead - Welcome bonus included

Lead the Way: Clinical Lead Opportunity to shape our patient care. Salary up to £80,000. £5,000 welcome bonus. Partnership Opportunities

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lead to come and join our friendly team at Leeds Kirkstall Vets for Pets. 

We are a friendly bunch and our new Clinical Lead will be instrumental in mentoring and developing a growing team of two vets, alongside a strong nursing team, including four RVNs. While established, the practice offers plenty of scope for someone to shape current practices, streamline workflows and drive clinical excellence, leading to improved patient outcomes. You’ll be leading on standards and processes, implementing change for the better, giving us the best chance of being the practice of choice for pet owning Leeds locals. 

With an inclusive culture and plenty of quirks, our team are close knit and uphold strong values in clinical care and we aim to be fear-free for our patients, as well as pain-free. Being so close means we get up to a number of activities outside of work, including hiking, meals out, bowling and more. Our practice provides excellent facilities giving you access to all the equipment and space you need to care for your patients as well as setting the bar with Journal Club and Clinical Meetings.

Our practice is in a great location, within an even greater city; Leeds is the third largest and one of the fastest growing, greenest cities in the country. Leeds can be easily accessed by road, rail and air, making it the perfect place to work and live. Award-winning parks are nearby and an added bonus of the beautiful Yorkshire countryside is right on our doorstep, making this a great location to explore on your time away from the practice.

We’re ideally looking for someone to work full time (37.5 hours per week) with no OOHs and Saturdays are currently on a 1:3 rota basis. Your wellbeing matters to us and we are open to compressed hours to allow a set day off during the week for that work-life balance.  

A competitive salary based on experience, up to £80,000 + £5,000 relocation / welcome bonus, as well as all the standard benefits you’d expect from a major employer (pension, healthcare, paid memberships etc.) plus a few more, such as excellent career progression, exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 30% off at Pets at Home), and relocation packages from within or outside the UK, including visa sponsorship if needed (we’re an A+ rated sponsor). 

We’re generous with our CPD offering, which colleagues are actively encouraged to use to further their interests and develop their skills in a direction of their choosing. So, if you want to pursue a post graduate qualification or certificate, we’re happy to help support that.

You should have small animal experience gained as a general practitioner, and great people skills. You will be comfortable with sole charge but will also relish being part of a team. “This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our patients and the team that care for them. I love the collaborative spirit and the chance to shape the future of our services” says Jo, current Clinical Lead.
