Ballarat Veterinary Practice | Ballarat, Victoria

Lead a great team. Make a difference every day. Build your leadership career with BVP.

Are you an experienced veterinary nurse and people leader looking for an opportunity to take the next step in your career?

Ballarat Veterinary Practice is looking for a capable, positive and people-focused Clinic Manager to lead our team at our Wendouree Clinic.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being at the heart of a busy veterinary clinic: supporting people, keeping operations running smoothly, developing team capability and creating an environment where great patient care and great teamwork can happen.

You’ll lead an established team of veterinary nurses and receptionists, work closely with the veterinarians and Partner at the clinic, and be part of a broader leadership team across BVP’s Companion Animal business.

About BVP

Ballarat Veterinary Practice is a large, progressive veterinary business with a long and proud history in the Ballarat community.

Our Companion Animal business currently includes four established clinics across Ballarat, with our fifth clinic in Bacchus Marsh now in development. Together with our Equine hospital and ambulatory services, we offer the scale, capability and opportunities of a large veterinary organisation while remaining strongly connected to the communities we serve.

But what matters most to us is our people.

Our values of Teamwork, Respect, Professionalism and Compassion guide the way we work and the expectations we have of ourselves and one another.





We are proud to be recognised as an AVA Employer of Choice, and we continue to invest in creating a workplace where people can develop their skills, progress their careers and enjoy being part of a robust and supportive team.

Professional development is actively encouraged and supported. We invest in clinical development, CPD and leadership development, and we believe strongly in identifying potential within our team and creating opportunities for people to grow.

We also understand the importance of having a life outside work. Our Companion Animal teams work an eight-day fortnight, providing regular additional time away from the clinic and supporting a more sustainable career in veterinary practice.

About the role

As Clinic Manager, you’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day functional operation of our Wendouree Clinic and provide leadership to its nursing and administration teams.

You’ll be a visible and approachable leader who understands what is happening within the clinic, supports your team and works collaboratively with veterinarians and other leaders to keep people, patients, clients and operations moving in the right direction.

A big part of your role will be developing people.

You’ll support the onboarding and development of new Team Members, oversee nursing training and capability development,



provide regular feedback and help your team continue to build their skills and confidence. You’ll also play an important role in welcoming and supporting new graduate veterinarians as they become established within the clinic.

You’ll balance this people leadership with oversight of the practical things that make a busy clinic work well: staffing and workflow, the appointment diary, facilities and equipment, stock, safety, administration and operational efficiency.

And you won’t be doing it alone.

You’ll be part of BVP’s broader Companion Animal leadership group, working alongside other Clinic Managers and supported by senior operational leaders, HR and our Companion Animal Directors.

What will you be doing?

Your responsibilities will include:

- leading, supporting and developing the Wendouree nursing and administration teams
- creating a positive, respectful and accountable team culture aligned with BVP’s values
- supporting effective clinic workflow, staffing and resource allocation
- overseeing onboarding, training and ongoing development of Team Members
