Veterinary Director

Company Description

At Greencross Cannington, we lead with care that feels personal. For every pet we see, there’s a family trusting us with something they love. That matters here, and it shapes how we practice, how we communicate, and how we show up for each other.

If you’re already a Vet Director or you’re an experienced Vet Associate ready for the next step, this is a place where your ideas are welcomed, your standards are backed, and your leadership has room to make a real difference.

Why Cannington feels different

We’re a warm, welcoming team who value great medicine and real relationships. We take pride in being the clinic our clients come back to because they feel looked after, not rushed.

You’ll be supported by an experienced Area Manager and Regional Clinical Director, so you can lead with confidence while still staying close to the floor and the medicine.

The lifestyle around you

Cannington is around 12 km south of Perth’s CBD, with easy access to public transport and major roads. It’s a convenient base with plenty nearby, plus green spaces like Canning River Regional Park for the kind of weekends that reset you.

What You’ll Do As Our Veterinary Director

This is a hands-on leadership role where we’ll trust you to guide the clinic forward, bring your ideas to life, and set the tone for how we care.
