Practice Manager. Wisborough Green, West Sussex. £45k to £55k plus benefits.
You love being a Practice Manager, you are great at your job and at your happiest when leading a practice that cares about delivering a high standard service to clients and their animals.
You are lucky to work in an industry you love, but things have changed - the long hours, pointless targets, production line consults, and a mentality focused entirely on the bottom line, is not what you signed up for.
You are looking at moving but don’t want more of the same.
What if we knew of a group of independent practices, with a welcoming team, a place where you will feel valued and supported, whilst being surrounded by passionate people, dedicated to their vocation.
Well, you're in luck as we do, and they are hiring.
Based on the edge of the South Downs National Park and within 30 mins of beaches on the South coast, this practice is recruiting for growth. A strong leader with a veterinary background is essential, but what is equally important is an empathetic team player who doesn’t mind rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in from the start.
This practice, with its experienced team, has a collaborative feel, where everyone pulls together when there’s work to be done, but values time outside work. A strong team that wants the best for clients and colleagues. Everyone has a voice, they share opinions, thoughts, case studies, and hold discussions.
The role is nicely varied here, working with both SA and livestock practices. It’s an exciting time to join as they are just acquiring a smallholder business, and there is the potential to really make your mark in this role.
Working under the supervision of the Directors, you will work across all sites; you will need people management skills and to be resourceful. Operational responsibilities for staffing, payroll and performance management comes with the role, as well as overseeing H&S compliance.
Proficiency in IT and practice management software are required. You will also have oversight of the financial day-to-day running of the practice and provide input into the strategic direction of the business.
It goes without saying communication skills are key here, not only liaising with colleagues and clients but also with external professionals as well.
So, what’s in it for you?
A salary of £45- £55k PA DOE. Company pension, with the chance of enhanced holiday or joining their private healthcare scheme. The position is full-time (40-hours/week), although there is some flexibility for the right candidate.
Choosing a new role is a big decision. You care about what you do. Most importantly, you want somewhere you can stick around. A place to help, learn, and call home.
So, what’s next?
Send your CV (don’t worry if it’s not up to date). We can’t get the whole story in a job ad, so ask any questions. I’ll answer honestly, no hard sell.
