18-month maternity leave cover | Commencing January 2027

Your next step in leadership could start here.

A close-knit team. Clients who know and trust you. The opportunity to guide a practice while staying hands-on with the clinical work you love.

At Greencross Booragoon, we’re looking for a Veterinary Director to join us for an 18-month maternity leave cover from January 2027. Whether you’re an experienced leader looking for a fresh challenge or a senior vet ready to step up, this is an opportunity to help a team thrive and build on your own strengths along the way.

And your journey with us could continue beyond this role. As the contract comes to an end, we’d love to explore permanent opportunities across the Greencross network with you, taking into account your interests, goals and preferred location.

A team you’ll enjoy leading

There’s something rewarding about working in a clinic where people know each other well, share the workload and feel comfortable asking for a second opinion.

That’s the environment at Booragoon. Our vets and nurses work closely together, keep communication open and step in where needed. You’ll be joining a down-to-earth team that values practical support, thoughtful patient care and a sensible work-life balance.

Our loyal local clients bring a mix of dogs and cats, including many long-term and senior patients. It’s a practice where you can follow your patients’ progress, build trust with their families and see the difference your care makes over time.

A modern, practical clinic layout supports the working day, and Heidi AI note taking helps keep clinical administration manageable.

Lead, mentor and make your mark

As Veterinary Director, you’ll combine clinical practice with the opportunity to influence how the team works, learns and develops.

You’ll:

• Stay hands-on clinically, with a mix of consultations, routine surgery and ongoing patient care.

• Guide and mentor your colleagues, creating space for case discussions, shared learning and professional growth.

• Lead clinical standards, supporting thoughtful decision-making and consistent patient care.

• Help the clinic run well, working with the nursing team and wider leadership team on day-to-day priorities.

• Bring your ideas, identifying practical improvements that benefit your patients, clients and colleagues.

Eighteen months gives you time to build relationships, develop your leadership approach and see your contribution take shape.

Ready for your next step?

You’re an experienced small animal vet who enjoys supporting colleagues as much as caring for patients. You communicate clearly, approach challenges thoughtfully and help others feel confident contributing their ideas.

You may already be a Veterinary Director, or you may be the senior vet colleagues turn to for guidance and feel ready to take that next step formally.

We’d love to hear from you if you bring:

• Confidence in general practice medicine and routine surgery.

• An approachable leadership style and an interest in mentoring others.

• A commitment to patient care, client relationships and team wellbeing.

• A veterinary qualification recognised for registration in Australia and eligibility for veterinary registration in Western Australia.

Keep growing with Greencross

Your development matters, too. You’ll have access to:

• Continuing education opportunities across the Greencross network.

• Paid study leave to support your professional development.

• AVA membership or annual veterinary registration support.

• Discounts across Greencross Vets, Petbarn and our referral and emergency network.

• Heidi AI note taking to help reduce administration.

• Wellbeing support, including our 24/7 Employee Assistance Program.

You’ll also be part of a broader veterinary network, with the opportunity to explore where your career could take you after the maternity leave cover.
