Practice Manager
Medivet
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Bury
Contract type: Part time

Medivet Ramsbottom has a fantastic opportunity for a Part-Time Practice Manager to join our friendly and supportive team, working 20 hours per week. This is a key leadership role where you’ll help shape the future of the clinic alongside the Branch Partner, overseeing day-to-day operations, driving team development, and ensuring smooth, efficient running across all aspects of the practice.
Set in the heart of a vibrant town centre, our Ramsbottom practice is part of a beautiful Grade II listed building, recently refurbished to a high standard just three years ago. With bright, modern clinical spaces and all the facilities you’d expect from a busy small animal practice, it’s a place where both clients and colleagues feel right at home. The town itself is full of charm, with plenty of cafés, independent shops and local amenities just a short walk away, making it a truly pleasant and well-connected location to work in.
Our team includes four dedicated vets, three qualified veterinary nurses and four experienced receptionists. We pride ourselves on working closely as a team, supporting one another and always going the extra mile for our patients. We’ve built a loyal client base within the local community, and we’re actively involved in local events and charity initiatives, including wildlife support and the town’s annual dog show.
As Practice Manager, you’ll play a crucial role in the continued success of the clinic. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a people-focused environment, enjoys nurturing team culture, and has the confidence to lead commercial and operational decision-making, ideally with a minimum of 3 years UK experience in a similar position. You’ll be supported by the wider Medivet network, but you’ll also have the autonomy to help shape the day-to-day life of the practice and contribute to the warm and collaborative culture we’re known for.
If you’re a proactive and passionate leader, ready to make a real impact in a close-knit, community-focused practice, we’d love to hear from you.
For more information or a friendly, informal chat, please contact [email protected].
