Our client, a thriving purpose-built practice in Liverpool, is looking for a Head Veterinary Surgeon to join their leadership team.
This is a standout opportunity for an experienced vet who is ready to step into a role with real influence, shaping clinical standards, mentoring colleagues, and driving the practice's ambition to be recognised as a centre of excellence.
Our client is seeking a vet with strong clinical expertise who is passionate about delivering outstanding care and comfortable in a leadership position. The right person will have the vision and drive to coach and inspire the team, ensuring that evidence-based, gold-standard care underpins everything they do. The working pattern is designed with balance in mind—four days a week, one weekend in four, and no out-of-hours commitments, other than occasional support for inpatients.
The practice itself is modern, spacious, and exceptionally well-equipped, with a team who are motivated, collaborative, and dedicated to providing the very best care. Many are already working towards certificates, and ongoing CPD is a core part of the culture, with training opportunities at every level to help colleagues progress and fill skill gaps.
To attract and retain the best, the package includes a competitive salary, quarterly recognition payments, CPD allowance, funded memberships, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, income protection, pension, wellbeing support, and generous staff discounts. There are also additional benefits such as an electric car scheme and internal leadership training, all designed to support both professional and personal wellbeing.
This is an exciting chance for a vet who enjoys leading from the front to make a tangible impact on a well-established, forward-thinking practice while still maintaining a great work-life balance.
