Village Vets & Meadowbank, Liverpool Road, Buckley, Wales
Discipline: Leadership
Full Time
Up to £50,000 DOE

APPLICATIONS WILL CLOSE ON FRIDAY 18TH JULY.

We’re looking for an experienced and driven leader to take on the role of Director of Practice at Village Vets – a thriving 4-branch veterinary group in North Wales. This is an exceptional opportunity to influence, guide, and grow a well-established and respected practice, working alongside a dedicated team who truly care.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO OUR TEAM

We’re looking for an experienced leader with a proven track record of managing people, operations, and performance. While veterinary industry experience would be an advantage, it’s not essential – what matters most is your leadership capability, strategic mindset, and emotional intelligence.
You’ll need to be commercially astute, people-focused, and confident in making decisions that balance clinical, client, and business needs. Strong communication, team engagement, and change management skills are a must.

As Director of Practice, you’ll be the sole accountable leader for the Village Vets group, setting strategic direction and overseeing all aspects of operational performance. You’ll work closely with a strong leadership team – including the Lead Vet, Nurse Manager, Referrals Manager, and Assistant Practice Manager – who each lead their own functions and teams.
Your role will be pivotal in maintaining high clinical standards, delivering exceptional client care, and ensuring strong commercial performance. You’ll also be a key driver in our plans to open a brand-new site in 2026, leading everything from planning to launch.
This role reports to the Area Director and will be primarily based at our hospital in Buckley, with regular time spent across all four sites.
A full job description will be provided at telephone interview stage.
