Are you driven by developing people, building strong teams, and working clinically at the same time? AniCura Kalmarsund Animal Hospital is now seeking a Veterinary Chief who wants to help shape the future of animal healthcare and help create an entirely new animal hospital with move-in planned for spring 2027.
We're looking for someone with clinical experience and a genuine interest in leadership and development. Perhaps you're a manager today – or ready to take your first step into leadership. We'd love for you to be a licensed veterinarian, but other backgrounds within animal healthcare may also be relevant for the right person.
Leadership, clinical work, and a future journey – all in one role
With us, you get the best of both worlds: an inspiring leadership role where you coach and develop veterinarians – while also working clinically and maintaining close relationships with both patients and team. The role is divided between approximately 60% leadership and operational development and approximately 40% clinical work.
We're looking for you who want more than just "managing." Someone who wants to create engagement, build culture, and be part of developing an operation where quality, collaboration, and job satisfaction go hand in hand.
And the most exciting part? Next year we're moving into a brand new animal hospital – designed for the future of animal healthcare. Here you'll have the opportunity to influence working methods, culture, and work environment from the ground up.
AniCura Kalmarsund
AniCura Kalmarsund Animal Hospital forms AniCura Kalmarsund together with Läckeby Animal Clinic, Borgholm Animal Clinic, Högsby Animal Clinic, and Blekinge Animal Clinic. Together we create a strong region with broad expertise and great opportunities for development and collaboration.
At AniCura Kalmarsund Animal Hospital, approximately 90 dedicated colleagues work, of which about 22 are veterinarians, in areas including: orthopedics, neurology, surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, and reproduction.
We offer advanced diagnostics with both CT and MR, have a 24-hour inpatient care unit and emergency reception open daily between 08–22.
Your role
As Veterinary Chief, you'll become a key person in the operation, manager of the veterinarians at the animal hospital, and sit in the management group for all of AniCura Kalmarsund. The role is both strategic and operational – you work closely with the operation, the team, and the decisions.
You will, among other things:
lead, coach, and develop the veterinary team
create engagement, participation, and a strong team spirit
drive quality and improvement work
work with operational planning and resource allocation
combine leadership with approximately 40% clinical work
be part of the journey toward our new animal hospital
Who are you?
We prefer someone who is a licensed veterinarian with good clinical experience and a genuine interest in people, development, and leadership. If you have a different background within animal healthcare, but with solid experience and strong commitment to leadership and operational development, that could also be perfect for the role.
Perhaps you already have experience leading teams and operations – or you're currently the natural source of security in your group and feel it's time to take the next step in your career.
We believe you thrive with us if you:
enjoy coaching, supporting, and developing others
like creating structure and driving development forward
communicate clearly and build trust naturally
are motivated by combining operational responsibility with presence in clinical work
are comfortable in a daily environment where collaboration, pace, and variety are a natural part of the work
Above all, we believe you're someone who wants to be part of creating a workplace where both people and operations have the opportunity to develop long-term.
What we offer you
a meaningful leadership role with great opportunity to make an impact
opportunity to combine clinical work with strategic responsibility
an engaged and competent team that helps each other
great opportunities for professional development
focus on sustainable leadership and good work environment
the chance to be part of something completely new from the start with a brand new animal hospital
