About the role:
Our Lead Veterinary Surgeon is responsible for line management of the vet team, maintaining high standards of patient and client care and optimising the uptake of clinical services and maintaining clinical quality. The lead vet will assist with mentoring, participation in the RCVS practice standards scheme, involvement in patient safety event analysis and clinical audits. The Lead Veterinary Surgeon will work closely with, and assist the Clinical Director to provide leadership, training, and development of the vet team in addition to providing guidance and support to the nursing and client care team. The position is primarily clinical but will include at least a half a day per week of protected non-clinical time to perform these additional responsibilities.
