Practice Manager: Our Clinic's Changing

2 weeks ago


Parry Sound Ontario, Canada P3 Veterinary Partners Full time
If you clicked on this ad because the title struck a nerve then Georgian Animal Hospital might be exactly what you have been looking for. 
We're a clinic in transition, growing in volume and on the cusp of a much needed renovation to support the clients and patients we've welcomed along the way. Navigating this kind of change can be both exciting and uncomfortable and that is why we need you. We have a team who is strong minded, passionate and deeply committed to doing right by our community. What we need now is a steady hand; Someone thoughtful, grounded and experienced to guide us through this next chapter while helping us develop and flourish in the process. 
You have probably been in a leadership role before. You've had wins. made mistakes and prioritized what matters most. You know how to read your team, how to bring people with you and when to step back and listen. You're not looking to manage. You want to mentor, support and help your team step into their own potential and be successful together. 
And, you won't be alone You'll be part of a connected community of other managers- people who get it. With your own support network, you can bounce around ideas, share your wins and your "What just happened?" moments, ask your community and receive valuable input (think conference dinner conversations, but on demand).
Now please don't be fooled, we're not perfect, and we're not looking for perfection. We're looking for thoughtfulness, for  resilience and agility and for someone who knows that success doesn't come from sidestepping the chaos that is veterinary life, but from stepping into it and helping shape what comes next.
