Veterinary Surgeon

This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and compassionate Veterinary Surgeon to join a friendly team, splitting time between two branch practices in West Sussex (Shoreham and Portslade). The successful candidate will enjoy the autonomy of branch practice, backed by the support and facilities of a thriving hospital team.

The Role

The client is seeking a full-time Veterinary Surgeon to work 40 hours per week, structured as a 4-day week (8:00am – 6:00pm) with 1 in 4 Saturdays at one of the branch locations. Flexible or part-time applications will be considered for the right candidate. This role is ideal for a confident vet who enjoys building client relationships and working as part of a close-knit team.

• Work up and manage their own cases.

• Build strong, lasting relationships with clients and their pets.

• Deliver high-quality, contextualised care.

• Enjoy the independence of branch practice while having the reassurance of support from a large, purpose-built hospital for complex, emergency, or hospitalised cases.

The practice is looking for a vet who is friendly, approachable, client-focused, confident with routine consultations and surgery, comfortable with occasional sole charge, a strong communicator, team player, and passionate about providing exceptional patient care.
