Veterinary Director - Greencross Ipswich

Company Description

At Greencross Ipswich, we believe great veterinary care starts with a team that feels supported, valued and proud of the work they do every day.

We’re looking for a Veterinary Director who wants to lead with purpose. Someone who enjoys guiding a team, nurturing great medicine and creating a clinic culture where people feel safe to learn, contribute and grow.

This is a well-established clinic with loyal clients, a varied caseload and strong connections within the local pet community. It’s also a place where leadership is supported, not expected to be carried alone. You’ll be backed by a knowledgeable Regional Clinical Director and a network of Vet Directors across the region who share ideas, advice and encouragement.

What makes Greencross Ipswich special

Our clinic sits alongside a busy Petbarn store, creating a connected pet care hub for the Ipswich community. This co-location brings a steady flow of cross-referrals and strong relationships with pet owners who value having trusted care all in one place.

Inside the clinic, you’ll find a well-equipped environment that supports high-quality medicine and surgery, including:

• Digital x-ray
• ECG, pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitoring
• Bair Hugger warming system and laryngeal thermometer
• Mindray and Skyla in-house laboratory machines
• iM3 dental machine
• Two anaesthetic machines
• Access to ultrasound and dental x-ray

Our facilities include two consult rooms, a surgical theatre, separate cat and dog wards, x-ray room, preparation area and reception.

What really defines this clinic, though, is the team. The culture is supportive and grounded in a shared love for the animals and people we care for.

Leadership support that backs you

You’ll be supported by:

• An experienced Regional Clinical Director with a wealth of clinical knowledge and mentorship
• A network of Vet Directors across the region who connect regularly and share support, advice and ideas

Alongside this, Greencross provides extensive leadership development and clinical education so you can continue to grow as both a veterinarian and a leader.

• Leadership training and mentoring across the Greencross network
• Scholarships for advanced education opportunities
