Clinical Team Lead Wanted for Fun, Friendly SA Practice, London.

 

Do you enjoy being a GP vet, and are ready to move up a gear and take on some leadership responsibility?

 

Are you a good story-teller who can engage and enthral clients with your tales of veterinary heroism?

 

Do you like people (including clients), curing rotten mouths and helping crusty, old grey-muzzled pets? - We do other things, but these things matter a lot to us. So we know it’s a lot to ask, but hey… we’re not looking for ten vets, just the one right person to fit our brand of crazy.
 

Are you ready to learn new things and be challenged to stretch and grow (not break) as a clinician and human?
 

If so, then read on, we may have the role for you.
 

About You
 

We are looking for someone who can fit our team culture and values. Those values and how they influence our behaviour are why we have such a special team vibe. So here’s what matters most to us as a team:

 

1. We’re honest.

2. We’re kind.

3. We conscientious.

4. We’re fair.

5. We’re loyal.

6. We’re fun.

So if these things matter to you too, there’s a very high chance we’ll get along well.

Some other things about you….

 

You’ll have a great way of making clients and team members feel at ease in your abilities because you are kind, happy, and confident. Plus you do your job with humility.
 

You’ll be able to perform dentals, routine soft tissue operations and medical work-ups. You’ll be able to use imaging like X-rays and maybe ultrasound too (if not, don’t worry, we can train you in this) to help you make good clinical decisions.
 

You’ll be the type of vet who is OK with working with and helping to advance our standards of care. (Not all vets like this, which is fine, but we like to have some basic guidelines to work with to improve outcomes and client consistency.)
 

You’ll be a person who can manage time, priorities and gets the work done each day.

You’ll be eligible to work in the UK and have a minimum of two years experience (the more the better), who loves people and pets. You’ll be someone who is past the stage of needing their handheld for the basics.
 

You’ll also be one of those people who can build trusting relationships with ease. Someone who can help clients understand what the right thing to do is, by telling great stories.

 

We’re not looking for someone who will work themselves into the ground, you should know how to look after yourself first and foremost because if you break, no-one wins. We’re trying to change the mould for veterinary medicine by creating a great working environment where we care about each other as much as we care about pets and clients. Profit matters, but it’s not the most important thing to us. Our people come first, then pets, then clients - if we get this stuff right, then we know that money will look after itself. So we want someone who understands that life is about balance and being a vet, while important, is not the be all and end all.
 

There are a few other things we’d like you to feel good about:
 

• "us" - your vet tribe.

• Your clients - if you can do clients then you can do vet med. If you can't then you are in trouble.

• Your patients (obvs).

• You.

• Really, YOU in quite a big way.

• Money and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it. It'll never come first, but it is there and we all need to work on this.

• We want you to be willing to learn and grow.

• We want you to help others in the team learn and grow.

• We want you to be willing to be amazing.

• We want you to leave your ego at the door.

• We want to laugh and cry with you at the crazy stuff we have to deal with.

• We want to be able to have a beer with you.

• We want you to understand that the owners of this practice care very deeply about helping you get where you want to go and helping you become what you can be.

• We want you to accept that you are not perfect, that none of us is and that's OK. Failure is OK.

• We want you to be happy.
 

If you can do that, we'd be very, very proud to call you a teammate.
 

(And if you can be that, or be willing to work towards it.... could you also never leave?
