Veterinary Director - Greencross Southport

Company Description

A team worth leading. A clinic worth getting excited about.

Great people make a difference to your working day. At Greencross Southport, you’ll be joining a team whose talent, care and commitment to helping others grow have earned them plenty of recognition.

Southport is home to the 2026 Gold Coast Vet Associate of the Year and 2026 Nurse Mentor of the Year, and was named Greencross Gold Coast Clinic of the Year in 2023.

For our next Veterinary Director, that means an exciting opportunity to lead a talented team, bring your ideas to a modern, well-equipped clinic and keep doing the clinical work you love.

Whether you’re already leading a practice or ready to take your first formal step into leadership, we’d love to get to know you.

Good people make coming to work enjoyable

Our team includes three vets and eight support staff, with an experienced Practice Manager and Head Nurse who take an active role in the day-to-day running of the clinic.

The awards are something we’re proud of, but it’s the everyday experience of working here that matters most. People offer a hand, share their knowledge, talk through cases and enjoy a laugh together. You’ll be leading people who care about their patients and want to help each other do well.

There’s a strong foundation here, along with room to bring your own approach, develop your team and shape what comes next.

The tools to take your clinical interests further

It’s satisfying to work somewhere you can investigate your cases, explore treatment options and put your skills to use.

Southport is equipped with digital x-ray, dental x-ray, ultrasound, an IM3 dental machine, Vet-Tome, orthopaedic equipment, Tono-Pen, patient warming and fluid therapy equipment. Visits from our roving imaging specialist provide additional support for your diagnostic work.

Whether you enjoy medicine, surgery, dentistry or developing the interests of the vets around you, you’ll have plenty to work with.

Stay hands-on and make your mark

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

You’ll:

• Lead clinical standards and help your team work through cases and clinical decisions.
• Mentor your vets, building their confidence and supporting their individual clinical interests.
• Work closely with your Practice Manager on clinic priorities, workflows and opportunities to improve.
• Build lasting client relationships and contribute to the clinic’s ongoing growth.

Your Regional Clinical Director and Area Manager will be there to support you, alongside peers across the wider Greencross network. When you want to discuss a decision, work through a challenge or explore an idea, you’ll have people to call.

Your development deserves attention, too

Supporting other people’s careers should come with opportunities to keep growing your own.

You’ll have access to clinical education, cross-clinic mentoring, practical workshops and our clinical conference, with paid study leave to support your learning. Leadership development opportunities include the Lincoln Institute leadership course, helping you build skills you can use in the clinic every day.

We’d love to hear what you want to develop next, whether that’s confidence in leading people, a particular clinical interest or a longer-term career within Greencross.

You’ll also have access to:

• A competitive salary reflecting your experience and responsibilities, with annual salary reviews.
• Your choice of paid veterinary registration or AVA membership.
• Paid parental leave.
• Discounts across a range of retail, healthcare and travel providers.
• Relocation support for eligible interstate and international applicants, with sponsorship available for eligible overseas-qualified vets.

Considering a move to the Gold Coast? Bring your career plans and lifestyle plans together. We’d be happy to talk through the opportunity and what relocating could look like for you.

Ready for your next step?

You might already be a Veterinary Director looking for a team and clinic that excite you. Or perhaps you’re an experienced clinician who has become the person colleagues turn to for advice, support and a steady hand with a challenging case.

If you enjoy sharing what you know, building good relationships and helping people develop, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll bring sound clinical judgement, clear communication and a thoughtful approach to supporting your team, along with a veterinary qualification recognised by the AVBC and eligibility for registration in Queensland.
