About the Role
This is a partnership opportunity at Medivet Quarrington, a well-established small animal practice in Lincolnshire. You'll take ownership of a thriving clinic with an excellent client base and experienced team, leading day-to-day operations whilst being part of a supportive regional network of fellow partners. Unlike traditional practice ownership, you'll have clinical backup, out-of-hours support from the local emergency hub, and mentorship always nearby—giving you the autonomy to shape the practice your way, with the safety net of a wider team behind you.
Medivet Quarrington is a purpose-built practice with five consulting rooms, separate dog and cat wards, and modern operating theatres equipped with ECG, orthopaedic equipment, digital and dental x-ray, and ultrasound. The practice sees a busy and varied caseload and is a training practice for nurses and vets, offering scope for clinical leadership and mentorship.
Key Responsibilities

Requirements

- CertAVP in Small Animal Surgery (or working towards one)
- Ambition and leadership drive—you want to own and grow your own clinic
- Confidence in leading and mentoring a team
- Passion for high-quality care and community impact
- No prior business ownership experience required—just bring your clinical skills and desire to build something meaningful
Benefits
- Uncapped profit share from day one—your share increases as the clinic grows; you can expect to earn more than an employed vet over time in partnership
- Guaranteed share buyback on exit, ensuring long-term financial security and a clear exit strategy
