• Provide leadership across the Large & Production Animal Service by supporting daily operations, workforce planning, staff development, and service delivery, while fostering a positive, collaborative, and high-performing team culture.
• Managing a diverse clinical caseload, including routine, complex, urgent and emergency presentations, and participating in an after‑hours and on‑call roster, with as‑needed equine primary call‑outs.
• Deliver high-quality, relationship-centred veterinary care across hospital and ambulatory settings, independently managing routine and complex large animal cases, supporting cross-service caseloads, and contributing to after-hours and on-call services.
• Mentor and develop veterinarians, students, interns, and residents through clinical leadership, teaching, supervision, and role modelling of professional, ethical, and evidence-based veterinary practice.
• Drive service excellence and growth through stakeholder engagement, client relationship management, continuous improvement initiatives, participation in hospital governance and professional development activities, and collaboration to achieve clinical, educational, and business outcomes.
