Practice Manager – Stewart Vets

Do you have the passion in getting the best out of people, motivating and inspiring others within a dynamic, forward thinking setting? Looking for a new direction and change in industry? Perhaps already in the Veterinary industry and looking for a new opportunity?

A rare opportunity has arisen for a Practice Manager at our P A Stewart Vets in the West Midlands

We have two sites one in Dudley and the other in Tipton providing top quality veterinary services to animals of all shapes and sizes.  Home to Dudley Castle & Zoo, Black Country Living Museum, where part of the TV show Peaky Blinders was filmed.

As Practice Manager, you will work closely with our Clinical Director and will be responsible for the day to day running of our practices. You will be involved in all aspects of practice management including financial responsibility, debt control, people management and general management of our premises.

The practice has space to grow with the right leader developing the team and driving clinical excellence. We are a tier two accredited veterinary practice with a special interest in zoo, exotics and wild animals.

We are ready to invest in the practice in the form of CPD/Equipment/Facilities to expand on the existing large animal facilities and develop the small animal clinical services further. We can see so much potential with this practice in this area and will support whatever is needed in practice to expand the services and develop a reputation as an excellent mixed animal practice.

Company

CVS (UK) Limited was established in August 1999 to acquire and operate veterinary practices which were well established within their local community and had a reputation for high quality service.  It was recognised that the value of these businesses lay in the quality of their staff and the relationship they enjoyed with their existing clients. To build on this CVS provides professional management expertise in the areas of finance, personnel, practice management, Health & Safety etc,  thereby relieving the local staff of many administrative tasks, to enable them to concentrate on clinical care.

As the number of acquisitions increases,  so does the diversity of operational styles and approaches.  These are shared on a regular basis at meetings of all the clinical directors, giving each practice an opportunity to consider alternative approaches to common problems. New initiatives are considered by this group and then fed back to each of their businesses.

Since 2001 CVS has diversified by acquiring two businesses that offer veterinary histopathology and cytology, plus more general veterinary laboratory services. This provides a wealth of experience to the practice division and the profession in general.

A more recent development has been the focus in acquiring practices in close proximity to each other.  This enables the group to benefit from certain synergies, and provides an opportunity for internal referrals.  Through its support for quality CPD many of the company’s veterinary surgeons have acquired skills of value to their colleagues elsewhere in the group. CVS already employs veterinary Specialists who offer invaluable advice to their colleagues.

Other benefits have also emerged as the company has grown. The use of single suppliers for certain types of product has enabled CVS to get more competitive prices and better support from the manufacturers.  Care is taken not to compromise clinical judgment through its selection of products, and this is achieved by having a working party drawn from the Clinical Director team that considers all options and seeks agreement from their colleagues before arriving at a decision.

Further acquisitions are always being considered but care is taken to ensure that each one is compatible with the CVS culture. The key attributes are their location, their current standing in the local community, their overall performance and the willingness of the existing practice team to embrace the CVS approach to business.
