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.

n

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.

n

This is a well-established clinic with loyal clients, a varied caseload and solid 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

n

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.

n

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

n

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

n

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

n

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.

n

n

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