The Catcuddles Cat Clinics are seeking a dynamic, highly motivated Practice Manager to join their cat-passionate team. With typically 3-6 team members at each clinic at any time, the working environment is sole-charge driven, compassionate, productive and at times fast paced.

Providing the opportunity to support the Clinics’ work with both charity funded and owned cats, this role is uniquely varied and rewarding with excellent management prospects. Our Clinics are not-for-profit aiming to help a mixed demographic of clients by offering affordable (yet not free or subsidised) treatment to as many cats as capacity allows.

This role is based in North London, N13. Occasional travel to our SE London Clinic will be required.

As Practice Manager you will be responsible for the day to day running of our Clinics, working closely with our clinical team. 

This role requires clear communication and the ability to inspire and motivate the team to achieve the Clinics’ goals.

You will have previous experience working as a RVN or Practice Manager.

You will be organised and structured in your work and possess the initiative to respond to and action a variety of issues. Additionally, you will be adaptable and possess the ability to prioritise tasks as workload demands as the need arises.

You will have extensive experience of providing a high level of administration and customer service. With highly developed listening and interpersonal skills you will be able to handle complex situations in a way which always balances empathy with professionalism.

You are calm, attentive and always focus on the needs of the Clinics and our patients, ensuring clients’ expectations are managed and escalating where appropriate with full support by senior management.

This role will, at times, be demanding so you will need to be calm and show understanding, consideration and patience.
