Here is a leadership opportunity you won’t want to miss! A practice just south of Brisbane is looking for an experienced veterinarian to lead their team.
This is a four-vet, truly mixed practice located in a growing area in South-East Queensland. It has all the facilities you need alongside the country town appeal with gorgeous scenery and national parks nearby.
As lead vet, you will work closely with the management team in the day-to-day running of the clinic. You will be responsible for the professional management of all clinical operations. Clinical operations include managing, training and supervising veterinarians, graduates and nursing staff, as well as being hands-on in the delivery of veterinary services to patients and clients according to the clinic’s high standards of care.

You will be given opportunities for training, personal development and career progression.
