The Role:
This is a full-time, on-site position (Monday to Friday), with occasional remote on-call responsibilities to support senior leadership. You’ll be working closely with a long-standing Head Vet, an experienced clinical leadership team, and a large support network of nursing, reception, and admin staff.
As Hospital Manager, you’ll be at the heart of day-to-day operations, driving both clinical excellence and operational efficiency across a multidisciplinary team of over 70 staff, including vets, RVNs, SVNs, VCAs, and front-of-house professionals.
