At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We’re excited to offer a rare opportunity for a Director of Practice and Clinical Services to join Rosehill Vets. This is an ideal role for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking to combine hands-on clinical work with the chance to shape and lead a well-established practice.

You’ll spend around 75% of your time in practice, enjoying a balanced mix of consultations and surgery, while also playing a key role in mentoring colleagues, supporting case discussions and helping develop less experienced vets and new graduates.
With access to excellent facilities including digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound and multiparameter monitoring, you’ll be well supported in delivering high-quality care.

You’ll be joining a friendly and experienced team of vets, RVNs and a dedicated client care team, all based in a welcoming, refurbished practice just outside the city centre.

IVC Evidensia is the UK and Europe’s leading veterinary care group, made up of over 900 practices and referral hospitals, united by a shared purpose of happier animals, happier owners.

As Director of Practice & Clinical Services, you will provide senior clinical leadership across a large practice, hospital, or group of services, setting and delivering the clinical vision in line with inspiring vet care’s strategy, standards, and values.

 

You’ll oversee clinical governance, quality improvement, and performance across services, working closely with senior operational leaders to drive excellent patient outcomes, sustainable service delivery, and a strong clinical culture. This role combines strategic leadership with accountability for clinical standards, people development, and continuous improvement.

 
•    This is a full-time role working four days per week, with a share of 1:4 Saturday mornings from 9am to 2pm. 
•    There are no out of hours or on call responsibilities as these are managed by a nearby IVC hospital. 
•    Part-time applications of 30+ hours or more per week will also be considered.

You are a senior veterinary leader with a strong track record of clinical excellence and strategic leadership. You’ll bring: 
 
•    A Veterinary degree with RCVS registration and significant senior clinical experience 
•    Proven leadership experience within a complex veterinary or healthcare setting 
•    Strong expertise in clinical governance, quality improvement, and regulatory compliance 
•    The ability to set and deliver a clinical vision while leading and developing high-performing teams 
•    Strong communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills
