Rowe Veterinary Referrals, Bradley Stoke, Bristol, South West
We have an exciting opportunity for a Referrals Manager to join our high-achieving team!
We are looking for a passionate ambassador to oversee and help manage Rowe Veterinary Referrals including our extensive client services team with a can-do attitude and influential communication skills, as you will be interacting at all levels with both internal stakeholders (veterinary practices and company senior management) and end users (pet owners).
This is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivated individual to work in a fast-paced entrepreneurial culture where you will have the opportunity to develop our referral standards and strategies. There may be occasional travel to other referring veterinary practices to participate in meetings/conferences.
Utilise Your Skills as an Integral Part of Our Hospital
The Referrals Manager at Rowe Veterinary Referrals plays a vital role in supervising and managing the referral team, processes, and protocols. Working closely with the Clinical Director, Practice Director, and other key stakeholders, you will ensure a thorough understanding and effective planning of referral procedures throughout the clinic. This includes keeping abreast of nationwide referral activities and collaborating with the Clinical Director to achieve Referral Road mapping objectives.
Key responsibilities encompass team management, effective project oversight, and maintaining a results-oriented, commercial approach. You will oversee the referral administration team, manage booking protocols, and coordinate appraisal reviews. Additionally, you will have a significant role in IT and marketing efforts, partnering with the IVC marketing team to troubleshoot daily challenges and promote Rowe Veterinary Referrals through various channels.
Collaboration with the Practice Director and Clinical Director will be essential in managing relationships with referring practices, analysing campaign performance, and assessing local and regional competitive landscapes. Financial duties involve ensuring referral costs remain within budget and assisting in the development of key performance indicators (KPIs) in conjunction with the Clinical Director and General/Operations Manager. You will also actively engage in internal and external events and conferences, contributing to the content for internal communications.
