Veterinary Director - Greencross Kenmore

Job description

Lead an established community practice with a well-equipped clinic, access to specialist and emergency care, and Brisbane’s leafy western suburbs on your doorstep. At Greencross Kenmore, you’ll combine consulting and surgery with responsibility for clinical standards, mentoring and developing the practice. This opportunity would suit an experienced Vet Director or a senior veterinarian ready to take their first step into leadership. Why Kenmore? Our purpose-built, stress-free accredited clinic has ultrasound, digital and dental X-ray, IM3 dental equipment, Bair Hugger warming and separate cat and dog wards. These facilities support medical investigations, dentistry and surgery, with separate recovery spaces for feline and canine patients. Kenmore has longstanding relationships with local pet owners. Clients have described taking their pets to the practice from puppyhood and continuing to visit after moving away. For a veterinarian who enjoys knowing their patients and following their progress over the years, there is an established community to build on. Located next to Petbarn, the clinic sits alongside grooming, puppy school and adoption services. You’ll also have access to a nearby Greencross network including ARH’s specialist and 24/7 emergency services when patients need care beyond the clinic. Your role You’ll remain hands-on with patients while helping colleagues develop their clinical skills and judgement. That means discussing cases, explaining your approach to treatment and supporting less experienced vets as they take on more responsibility. Working alongside your Practice Manager, you’ll help decide how the clinic runs and where it can develop. Your responsibilities will include: · Providing evidence-based medical and surgical care. · Overseeing clinical standards, patient safety and continuity of care. · Mentoring veterinarians through case discussions, practical guidance and feedback. · Building client relationships through clear explanations, treatment planning and follow-up. · Reviewing workflows and clinic performance with your Practice Manager. · Identifying opportunities to develop services and the team’s clinical interests. Your Regional Clinical Director and experienced Vet Directors across the region will provide ongoing support with clinical questions and the responsibilities of leading a practice. What we offer · A competitive salary package aligned with your experience and responsibilities. · 12% superannuation in addition to your base salary. · Four weeks of annual leave, with the option to convert continuing education leave into additional annual leave. · Six weeks of paid parental leave at full pay, or 12 weeks at half pay, with flexible return-to-work options. · An industry-leading internal continuing education program. · All-inclusive attendance at our annual veterinary clinical conference. · Scholarship opportunities for Membership examinations. · Paid AVA membership or annual veterinary registration. · Access to the Lincoln Institute’s Leading Edge for Veterinarians, a fully funded 12-month leadership program valued at $9,000, if leadership is part of your career goals. · Ongoing support from our Regional Clinical Director and experienced Veterinary Directors across the region. · Discounts across Greencross Vets, the Animal Referral and Emergency Network and Petbarn. Life in Brisbane’s west Approximately 10 km from Brisbane CBD, Kenmore offers local cafés, shopping and schools, with access to the Centenary Highway and public transport. Nearby Mt Coot-tha offers walking trails, cycling and the Botanic Gardens, making it easy to spend your days off outdoors. The clinic is closed on Sundays and public holidays. We’re happy to discuss working arrangements and Saturday commitments with you. About you You’ll bring experience in small animal general practice, confidence in medicine and routine surgery, and an interest in helping other vets develop. You’ll be comfortable making clinical decisions, explaining treatment options to owners and working with your Practice Manager on the practical and commercial responsibilities of running a clinic. You’ll also need a veterinary qualification recognised in Australia and registration, or eligibility for registration, in Queensland. Previous leadership experience is welcome, and we also encourage experienced associates ready to step into a Vet Director role.
