Job Details

Do you sit there thinking it could be done better? That the way cases are managed should be done differently, that people should be well led or that clients should be managed better? Or have you seen what great looks like and want to do it yourself? Or dare we say it, do you feel that you want to get financially well rewarded for your efforts?

Well if any of these things ring a bell we might just have the role for you. You'll need to like roundabouts and Aston Martins as we are looking for the new Clinical Director for Astonlee Veterinary Centre in Newport Pagnell.

There's an amazing, bespoke building with 6 consult rooms and 2 theatres and loads of carpark space to wander around finding clients. There's a fantastically feisty nursing team, recently branded the Guardians of Pain Relief, who make the day tick and the vet's lives easier and a reception team who know large numbers of the clients by first name. We have insured clients looking for best practice and the facilities to match, as well as cash strapped ones looking for ingenuity.

What the team needs is someone with ideas to bring the practice on. As a CVS practice there is loads of support available as needed but we are keen for someone to do it their way and bring their ideas (and that's not just Corporate speak!). What is on offer is a good work life balance of a 4 vet team, no OOH, loads of support both clinically and on the business side, plus a very attractive salary of up to £60K DOE plus bonus scheme for this role.

  • 5 weeks annual leave + bank holidays with the option to buy or sell an extra two weeks
  • Leadership training is very much encouraged and fully funded
  • Company pension scheme
  • RCVS and VDS fees paid
  • Generous relocation package
  • Generously funded CPD allowance
  • Colleague discount on pet treatments and products
  • Industry leading maternity, paternity & adoption pay 
  • A range of other flexible benefits such as Perkbox, Cycle to Work Scheme, Gymflex, and much much more!

If this sounds like it might just tickle your fancy then drop us a line for a chat on 07776 497219.  

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.
