About us

West Midlands Veterinary Referrals is a veterinary hospital based near Burton on Trent offering only referral services. WMR work in support of their colleagues in general practice, taking cases that can’t be managed at their usual general practice and we see patients from across the country. We welcome a very wide range of surgical cases including orthopaedic and soft tissue.

At Burton on Trent we have a purpose-built facility to provide comprehensive surgical treatment, advanced imaging, patient monitoring and the diligent aftercare that many referral cases require. We are well equipped with CT, endoscopy, orthopaedic and arthroscopy equipment, DR and CR X-Ray, Doppler ultrasound, 4 operating theatres, separate cattery & kennels, 6 consulting rooms (one for felines only) and more.

At WMR our team of 7 vets, all of whom are certificate holders in surgery, are supported by a fantastic nursing and front of house team.

We are proud to have been awarded the ISFM Cat friendly silver award & the IIE bronze award for sustainability.

Your role and responsibilities

As Clinical Director, you will be responsible for the overall leadership of the business and hospital, delivering clinical activities and commercial performance and developing the team. You will have a passion for delivering the best possible service and outcomes for patients, customers, Associates, and the wider Linnaeus group. You will help shape teams, leading by example with excellent communication skills, ensuring collaborative and effective working relationships between teams, management, and other group associates. You will lead and contribute to associate engagement to help deliver positive commercial performance.

 

Our normal working hours are between 08.00 – 19.00 on weekdays. The rota for the role is spread over 5 days per week, with 3 days clinical work. All vets and the CD take a fair share of emergency work over weekends and Bank Holidays.

The ideal candidate for the role will be an experienced “Lead Vet”, ready to take the next step in their career or a Clinical Director who is passionate about leading a highly respected referral hospital and team. Ideally you will be a certificate holder in a relevant discipline and have experience of managing a veterinary team in a referral setting or a large general practice.
