Seeking an experienced Practice Manager for a fixed-term maternity cover role across two mixed veterinary practices. Lead operations and teams in a supportive, values-driven environment with clear career progression.
The Stocks Veterinary Centre is looking for an experienced Practice Manager to join their team on a fixed-term basis, covering a period of maternity leave. This full-time role spans two practice locations—the main surgery in Upton-upon-Severn and a newly refurbished branch at Lower Wick, Worcester. You'll work standard hours (Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, 40 hours per week), with no out-of-hours commitments.
As Practice Manager, you'll be the central point of leadership and accountability, ensuring both people and operations perform effectively. While key team members manage specific areas, you'll monitor outcomes, review performance data, and ensure standards are consistently met, stepping in where support, guidance, or corrective action is needed. This is an ideal opportunity for a confident leader who thrives on supporting, developing, and empowering teams.
The Stocks Veterinary Centre is a mixed animal practice with a rich history—a veterinary presence has existed on the Upton-upon-Severn site since 1945. The practice relocated to School Lane in 2009 to accommodate expansion, and now operates two centres: the main surgery in Upton-upon-Severn and a newly refurbished branch at Lower Wick, Worcester. The practice is part of inspiring vet care, the UK and Europe's leading veterinary care group, made up of over 900 practices and referral hospitals.
The Stocks offers a wide range of mixed animal services—treatment and preventative medicine for small animals and farm animals—delivered by highly motivated, enthusiastic staff dedicated to providing the best possible care. The practice is known for competitive pricing, genuine mixed-practice expertise, and a range of treatment options to suit different client needs.
