Clinical Director - Small Animal Bias

A rare opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Director to lead this dedicated team through their next chapter. The successful candidate will be the line manager for an experienced Senior Leadership Team of Equine Clinical Director, Practice Manager, Lead Vet and Clinical Nursing Manager. The role is focused on the clinical and commercial development and success of Hawick vets, with support from a Primary Care Director and relevant central support functions provided. While mixed practice experience is preferred, this role is ideal for candidates with a bias in Companion Animal practice. In addition, the successful candidate will be a strong leader, with a passion for empowering the teams they work with through excellent organisation, communication, and team development. The role includes clinical and non-clinical time and will include an Out of Hours commitment of approximately 1 night and weekend in 5 with time in lieu provided.

Hawick Vets are an established, genuinely mixed practice (20% Farm, 25% Equine, 55% Companion Animal) at the heart of their community in Hawick, part of the unspoiled Scottish Borders. Situated approximately one hour from Edinburgh, Carlisle and Newcastle, the purpose- built practice is RCVS Practice Standards Scheme Accredited at Core standard and has also been awarded an ISFM Gold award and Bronze Investors In the Environment Sustainability award. The team of 7 Vets, Nurses, PCAs and admin associates are a close-knit, long-standing team, focussed on continual improvement of the care they provide.
