Practice ownership at Vets for Pets Barnsley Cortonwood

Vets for Pets Barnsley Cortonwood is looking for a new practice owner to take over the leadership and strategy of the practice.

This is a great opportunity for a vet who’s looking to purchase an existing practice with lots of growth potential, where they can drive change from the outset. Whether that’s focusing on increasing client engagement, community relationships, or identifying and establishing specific work streams, there’s a lot of opportunity for certificate holders and GP vets alike. Whatever the direction and approach, the decisions and ways of working very much sit with the practice owner. You’ll be in the driving seat and we’ll be supporting you to achieve your goals.

This practice - based inside a Pets at Home pet care centre - opened its doors in October 2013 and operates 6 days a week, with out of hours covered by the neighbouring Vets for Pets Barnsley Hospital, located 11 miles away.
Located south-east of Barnsley centre (and equidistant to Rotherham) on the busy Cortonwood Retail park, the practice is positioned on the ground floor towards the back of the store, where there is a lot of passing footfall. Working together with store colleagues, the practice team share a great relationship, which can only be strengthened and built upon to generate further footfall and drive commercial opportunities.

This practice has a dedicated team comprising:

• 1 Vet (plus locum)
• 1 RVN
• 1 Practice Manager
• 3 CCAs

The team have a great work ethic and have worked hard to create a welcoming and positive environment for both colleagues and clients. The addition of a vet practice owner would give further opportunity to maximise the potential of this practice.
