Job Description

Practice Manager – Greencross Vets Cannington

Greencross Vets Cannington is looking for a Practice Manager to lead the reopening of our clinic – could it be you?

🚨 Please note: This role requires a veterinary background (Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or equivalent).

A Unique Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to reopen and shape a clinic from the ground up.

Our Cannington clinic is currently temporarily closed, and we are seeking a capable and motivated Practice Manager to bring it back to life. You’ll be supported by an experienced nurse, and we already have veterinarians ready to join the team — what we need is the right leadership to rebuild and guide the clinic forward.

This role offers the chance to:

• Establish systems, workflows, and team culture
• Recruit and develop your nursing team
• Create a positive, high-performing clinic environment from day one

About the Clinic

Located within a busy Petbarn retail store, the clinic connects directly with a large and engaged pet-owning community.

Once reopened, you’ll be leading a clinic designed to deliver:

• High standards of patient care
• Strong client relationships
• A collaborative and supportive team environment
