W Talent Property & Real Estate - Property Director Opportunity

W Talent Property & Real Estate is thrilled to partner exclusively with Medivet & Partners in the search for a Property Director. This pivotal executive leadership role reports directly to the UK CEO, Ben Jacklin.

Founded in 1987, Medivet is one of Europe's leading veterinary care providers, operating more than 500 branches across the UK, Germany, and Spain. Supported by 26 state-of-the-art 24-hour veterinary centres and a network of over 1,500 veterinary professionals, Medivet's unique Partner co-ownership model combines the strength of a leading national brand with empowered local leadership. By enabling vets to become equity partners in their own practices, Medivet fosters strong client relationships within their communities while benefiting from the resources of a larger organization.

At the heart of Medivet's purpose is the commitment to help pets and their owners live their best lives together through exceptional care. The organization believes that investment in clinical excellence, practice environments, and its people lays the foundation for outstanding patient outcomes and long-term sustainable growth.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to join Medivet at a transformative point in their growth journey. As a member of the senior leadership team, the Property Director will lead the Property, Estates, Projects, and Facilities functions, shaping the future of Medivet's estate strategy, driving portfolio performance, and developing scalable property formats to support the company's ambitious growth plans.

The role involves providing strategic leadership to a high-performing team within a large and complex multi-site portfolio. You will create the structure, capability, and culture required to support Medivet's next phase of growth while ensuring that the estate remains effective, scalable, and aligned with the organization's long-term ambitions.

In addition to managing the existing portfolio, the Property Director will play a crucial role in defining the future of Medivet's physical estate, ensuring that practices, hospitals, and clinical facilities offer the best possible environment for delivering exceptional patient care. This includes developing innovative property formats, location strategies, and delivery models that enhance clinical capability, improve client experience, and create a scalable platform for future growth.

  • A proven history of leading large-scale property portfolios, preferably in the Retail, Hospitality, or Healthcare sectors.

  • A track record of driving change in a fast-paced growth environment.

For the incoming Property Director, this role presents a unique opportunity to shape a substantial property portfolio and create environments where thousands of veterinary professionals deliver care every day. The successful candidate will be instrumental in supporting Medivet's mission to provide exceptional care for pets while establishing a sustainable platform for future growth.
