Lead from the front. Develop people with intention. Redefine what exceptional emergency veterinary care looks like.

At ARH Greater Western Sydney, an uncommon opportunity is open to a seasoned Emergency & Critical Care veterinarian ready to take on a Clinical Director role built around one core principle: clinical work comes first.

This position is for a senior clinician who has mastered the pace and pressure of emergency medicine and is now driven to elevate others - to raise standards, nurture talent, and shape a culture grounded in clinical excellence - while staying hands-on where it matters most.

This isn’t about spreadsheets, stocktakes, or staffing grids. t’s about medicine, mentorship, and making a lasting difference.

The Role

As Vet Director - ECC, you’ll be the clinical cornerstone of our emergency service. Working alongside your team, you’ll lead by example - setting the benchmark in patient care while actively guiding clinicians through every stage of their growth.

Your impact will be seen in how you:

• Navigate complex ECC cases with clarity, composure, and empathy
• Coach and support veterinarians through case discussions, feedback, and in-the-moment teaching
• Foster a culture where psychological safety and high performance go hand in hand
• Develop and refine clinical protocols that reflect best practice
• Help shape the hospital’s clinical direction in partnership with senior leadership

You’ll work closely with leadership on strategy and growth, while keeping your focus where it belongs: on people, patients, and outcomes.
