Medical Director Veterinarian
About The Position
This Medical Director role at Bedford Veterinary Medical Centre allows you to guide medical standards, mentor the team, and influence hospital direction — without stepping away from patient care. Experienced veterinarians can receive a customizable first-year compensation package totaling up to $200K (based on experience). This is a clinical leadership role — not a desk job. You’ll have the opportunity to shape medical quality, mentor fellow doctors, and influence the direction of the hospital while maintaining a hands-on caseload. This is an ideal opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to step into leadership without sacrificing clinical practice or work-life balance. You’ll be supported by strong operational leadership so your focus remains on medicine and team development — not administrative overload. Bedford Veterinary Medical Centre is a well-established small animal practice built around consistency, efficiency, and a respectful team culture. This is not a high-volume, high-pressure environment — you’ll have the time and support to practice medicine thoughtfully and lead effectively. You’ll work alongside a team supported by experienced technicians and staff who understand workflow and value collaboration.
