The Team
Each site has three vets and a similar number of nurses. The team is exceptional, as the business has been extremely selective about hiring only the best veterinary professionals in London. Each team member is clinically competent and keen on supporting each other in the workplace.

- Willing to do things differently and “not how they have always been done”
- Comfortable with change, as we optimize our clinical model frequently
- Comfort with ambiguity
- The desire to help improve the clinic’s operational performance
- Constructively recognizing, escalating and helping solve clinical problems
- Not a behind-the-scenes complainer. Not “gossipy”
- Keenness to grow the clinic by developing neighbourhood relationships
- Strong interest in marketing activities
- Clinic hours: 08:00am – 6:00pm Monday through Sunday
- Shift pattern: 5 days x 8 hours
