Operating Partner - Norfolk

Operational Partner – Veterinary Practice Cluster in Norfolk

Location: Norfolk
Company: Medivet
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

About the Role

This is an exciting and rare opportunity for a dynamic and commercially driven Veterinary Surgeon to co-own a cluster of four practices on the Norfolk/Lincolnshire border through the Medivet Partnership model.

We are seeking a motivated Operational Partner with strong leadership experience to take ownership of both clinical and operational performance across this group of practices. Working in true partnership with Medivet, you will play a key role in delivering exceptional patient care, driving business growth, and empowering teams.

As an Operational Partner, you will own equity in the practices giving you autonomy to run your practices locally with the support from Medivet’s central support functions. Our aim is to provide the support and infrastructure of a larger organisation while allowing Partners to lead the clinical direction of their branch, make decisions in the best interests of their patients, and build the practice culture they want for their team and clients.

This role is ideal for someone who wishes to maintain a clinical presence, including mentoring and hands‑on work, while dedicating time to non‑clinical leadership and operational responsibilities.

• Easy to Own – Begin your partnership journey with just a 10% deposit, spreading the remaining cost over 10 years without risking personal assets
• Easy to Earn – As a Partner, you’ll be self‑employed and benefit from uncapped monthly profit share
• Easy to Grow – Retain full clinical autonomy while being supported by the strength and scale of Medivet’s national network
• Easy to Go – Exit opportunities every two years at predefined multiples allow you to build value and realise your investment when the time is right

About the Cluster
