Veterinary Director - Greencross Vets Browns Plains

Veterinary Director (Maternity Leave Cover) - Starting from June

At Browns Plains, we’re proud of the kind of clinic we’ve built. Busy, varied, and deeply trusted by a loyal local community. This maternity leave cover is a chance to step into Veterinary Director responsibilities with the backing of a stable team who know their clients, support each other, and still find time for a good laugh on shift.

The opportunity

This is an acting Veterinary Director role while our current VD is on parental leave. It’s ideal for a confident vet who’s ready to stretch into leadership, or someone already leading informally who wants the title, coaching, and real development behind them.

You’ll be trusted to lead, but never left to do it alone.

What makes Browns Plains different

• A well-established clinic with a loyal client base who want us to work cases up properly, not rush

• A genuinely varied caseload: routine consults and surgery, plus more complex medical and surgical cases that keep you learning

• A stable, supportive team with great banter and strong collaboration

• Autonomy to manage your own cases, with people around to bounce ideas off when you want another brain

The leadership development you’ll get here

• A supported step-up into clinical leadership: guiding standards of care, shaping how we show up for clients, and keeping the team feeling confident

• Practical opportunities to mentor and coach, build rhythm in the day, and lead case conversations

• A chance to grow your leadership style in a clinic that already values teamwork and good medicine

Who will thrive in this role

You’ll feel at home if you:

• Lead with calm confidence and bring people with you

• Enjoy a mix of medicine and surgery, and like seeing cases through properly

• Communicate clearly and kindly with clients, especially when plans feel complex

• Like building a team culture where questions are welcomed and learning is normal

We’re a busy clinic, and our clients are invested. That’s part of what makes the work rewarding here. We take the time to do things properly, and we rely on thoughtful leadership to keep the day running well.

What we back you with

• Competitive salary and benefits

• Four weeks annual leave plus one week paid study leave (pro rata)

• CE allowance, plus your choice of AVA membership or veterinary registration

• Heidi AI note-taking to cut admin and protect more time for patients and clients

• Mental health support including trained first aid officers in every clinic and 24/7 EAP

• The strength of the Greencross network with pathways across GP, specialty and leadership

About you

• Veterinary degree registrable with the Queensland Veterinary Surgeons Board

• Comfortable managing medical and surgical cases and supporting others to do the same

• A team-first leader who can also make clear decisions and set direction when needed

Location

Less than an hour from Brisbane CBD with easy public transport access, and a local lifestyle that skips the city commute while keeping Brisbane close.
