Branch Partnership is an alternative career option for vets that want to balance clinical work and leadership and be generously rewarded for the work they do. Our Branch Partners are fully supported with the day to day operational aspects of running the clinic allowing them to focus on team leadership and providing exceptional care to their patients and clients. As a Branch Partner you will retain full clinical autonomy however you will never be on your own. You will become part of community of like minded veterinary professionals who support one another.
As a Branch Partner you will receive 6 weeks holiday plus bank holidays and 1500 CPD allowance. Our Branch Partners will receive a full onboarding helping them to transition from being an employed vet into the role of clinic owner.
