Ready to combine clinical expertise with meaningful leadership? This Lead Vet role at Medivet's Muswell Hill practice offers you the chance to guide a supportive team, shape clinical standards, and enjoy a four-day working week with genuine work-life balance.
1 in 6 full weekends; no overnight/on-call shifts mentioned beyond weekend day rotas
You'll step into a leadership position at a well-established Muswell Hill practice, combining hands-on clinical work with the responsibility of leading a skilled veterinary team. This four-day working week (9:00–19:00 with one-hour lunch break) offers excellent work-life balance, with participation in a 1-in-6 weekend rota rather than frequent out-of-hours commitments.
The Muswell Hill practice is purpose-built with digital x-ray, ultrasound, dental facilities, and an in-house laboratory. You'll benefit from access to Medivet's wider network of 24-hour hospitals and referral services, plus a loyal client base with varied and interesting casework. The close-knit nursing and reception team are experienced and supportive—leadership here is about collaboration, not isolation.
Medivet is a leading veterinary care provider across the UK and Europe, operating over 400 practices including 24-hour centres and specialist referral hospitals. The Muswell Hill branch is a purpose-built clinic serving a loyal community base with a varied small-animal caseload.
The practice is part of a wider network that prioritises both clinical excellence and employee wellbeing. You'll have access to Medivet's support structures, regional leadership, and specialist facilities, while maintaining autonomy in your day-to-day clinical and team leadership work.
