Company Description
At Greencross Ipswich, we believe great veterinary care starts with a team that feels supported, valued and proud of the work they do every day.
We’re looking for a Veterinary Director who wants to lead with purpose. Someone who enjoys guiding a team, nurturing great medicine and creating a clinic culture where people feel safe to learn, contribute and grow.
This is a well-established clinic with loyal clients, a varied caseload and strong connections within the local pet community. It’s also a place where leadership is supported, not expected to be carried alone. You’ll be backed by a knowledgeable Regional Clinical Director and a network of Vet Directors across the region who share ideas, advice and encouragement.
What makes Greencross Ipswich special
Our clinic sits alongside a busy Petbarn store, creating a connected pet care hub for the Ipswich community. This co-location brings a steady flow of cross-referrals and strong relationships with pet owners who value having trusted care all in one place.
Inside the clinic, you’ll find a well-equipped environment that supports high-quality medicine and surgery, including:
- Digital x-ray
- ECG, pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitoring
- Bair Hugger warming system and laryngeal thermometer
- Mindray and Skyla in-house laboratory machines
- iM3 dental machine
- Two anaesthetic machines
- Access to ultrasound and dental x-ray
Our facilities include two consult rooms, a surgical theatre, separate cat and dog wards, x-ray room, preparation area and reception.
What really defines this clinic, though, is the team. The culture is supportive and grounded in a shared love for the animals and people we care for.

- A network of Vet Directors across the region who connect regularly and share support, advice and ideas
