Lead Veterinarian Full time Brighton Vet RR-8457
Lead Veterinarian | Brighton Vet | Full Time or Part Time
4 minutes from the beach, a team ready to follow your lead, and a genuine opportunity to shape the way a clinic runs and grows – Up to $170k salary package, $10k relocation plus $30k in retention bonuses.
Brighton Vet sits just 4 minutes from the coast in Perth's northern suburbs, with easy freeway access—putting you within 30 minutes of the city lights. It's also close to the Butler train line and home to a welcoming community of locals and expats who truly value their pets. This is a clinic where relationships matter, team culture is strong, and gold-standard care isn't aspirational—it's what we do every day.
You'll step into a hands‐on leadership role within a close‐knit team, guiding and supporting a predominantly small animal caseload – plus the occasional wildlife case to keep things interesting. With modern imaging, endoscopy, and a well‐equipped clinical setup, you'll have the tools to lead confidently and practise at a high standard, while mentoring others to do the same.
This isn't your next role. It's an opportunity to influence clinical direction, build a team culture you're proud of, and create a career and lifestyle in a clinic that values strong leadership, great medicine, and long‐term belonging.

About You
You are a confident and compassionate clinician who leads with empathy and clear communication. You enjoy mentoring others and are committed to excellence in patient care and team wellbeing.
You hold a BVSc, DVM, or equivalent recognised in Australia, with at least five years of clinical experience and a track record of mentoring or supporting less senior colleagues. You're registered, or eligible to register, with the Veterinary Surgeons' Board of Western Australia.
About the Role
This is a hands‐on clinical leadership role, not an administrative one. You'll spend most of your week in consults and theatre, with the mentoring, standards work, and culture‐building happening alongside the medicine rather than instead of it. Day‐to‐day, you'll be working a varied small animal caseload with clients who trust your judgement and back considered diagnostics. You'll mentor the team through complex cases, refine clinical standards, and help shape the direction of a clinic that's already well‐regarded locally.
We know this industry isn't without its challenges, and we take that seriously. Your wellbeing is not an afterthought here. We're committed to a safe, supportive environment backed by real safety standards, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and a Mental Health First Aid network.
