Lead Veterinarian

Lead the Way at Gladesville Veterinary Hospital – Lead Veterinarian Opportunity

Are you a passionate and dedicated veterinarian ready to step into a leadership role where you can influence clinical standards, mentor a talented team, and deliver exceptional patient care?
Gladesville Veterinary Hospital (GVH) — one of Sydney’s most respected veterinary practices — is seeking a Lead Veterinarian to join our thriving and collaborative team.

Why Gladesville?

Located in the leafy Lower North Shore and established in 1959, GVH has grown into a purpose-built, highly reputable hospital known for its advanced facilities and strong commitment to excellence. We proudly offer a high standard of medical, surgical and specialty nuclear scintigraphy services.

We are a fast-paced clinic with a loyal, engaged client base — ideal for a vet who enjoys variety, complexity and continuous learning. You will collaborate closely with the existing senior veterinarian and leadership team to drive hospital standards and contribute to ongoing service growth.

A clinical interest (or willingness to develop skills) in nuclear scintigraphy, orthopaedic surgery or diagnostic imaging would be highly regarded but is not essential.

• Puppy Preschool

Our modern facilities include:

• Six consult rooms and two surgical suites

• Line management responsibilities including performance and development
