My client is a highly respected, RCVS-accredited small animal practice that has been caring for pets in the Basingstoke area for over 20 years. With a reputation for excellence and a strong, experienced team, they are now looking for a Clinical Director to lead the practice into its next chapter.
In this leadership role, you’ll be responsible for overseeing clinical services, guiding and supporting the team, and working closely with management to drive both clinical and commercial success. You’ll play a key role in shaping the culture of the practice, encouraging continuous improvement, and fostering a positive, collaborative working environment where both staff and patients thrive.
The practice is equipped to a high standard, with a newly installed ultrasound machine, digital x-ray, endoscope, bronchoscope, in-house lab, and a fully equipped dental suite.

They are proud to hold ISFM Silver Cat Friendly and Dogs Trust Dog Friendly accreditations.

The daily schedule includes protected time for administrative duties, ensuring your day is well-structured and manageable. Regular team-building activities and CPD opportunities help create a positive, fulfilling work culture.
The ideal candidate will be a confident and compassionate leader with excellent communication skills and a passion for delivering outstanding care. Whether you’re stepping into your first leadership role or bringing existing Clinical Director experience, you’ll be supported to grow and develop. Interests in specific clinical areas, especially those working towards or holding a certificate, are warmly welcomed.
