The role

Veterinary surgeon. Salary £45,000 - 65,000. A consulting only clinician would certainly be considered.

Our friendly small animal practice in Burgess Hill (20 mins from Brighton) is looking for another experienced, personable vet, to join the team as the practice continues to grow.

How you'll work

Work in a purpose-built, recently renovated practice equipped with all the mod-cons, including digital X-ray, ultrasonography, in-house laboratory facilities, and separate wards for dogs, cats, and isolation cases. With a loyal client base and approximately 35% insured clients, you'll have the resources to provide the highest standard of care.

We understand the importance of flexibility and are open to tailoring hours to fit your lifestyle. While our ideal candidate would commit to 40 hours per week, we're happy to discuss more part-time options for the right candidate. Typical shifts are 8am - 6pm, 9-7 or 10am - 8pm (with only one late shift per week) and with 1 weekend (Sat 9-6, Sun 10-4) a month. There are no OOH responsibilities.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is passionate about going above and beyond in their role. You may be a consulting only vet. We don't have certificate holders in dermatology, cardiology or ophthalmology currently, so an interest or further qualification in these areas would be great but is not essential. If you're a good all-rounder, then we would still love to hear from you too! We could accommodate a day of surgery every week so that you keep your surgical skills up to scratch. It may be that you have time off rota to conduct medicine, skin or heart work ups instead. Someone who can bring new ideas and suggest areas for improvement is always great. Most importantly we are looking for an individual who cares deeply for their patients, wants to do the best for their clients and who work well within a team.

This job has allowed me to work hours that fit around my two small children which has been invaluable." Lucinda, (Senior Vet - Medicine & Imaging Certificate holder)

The staff are amazing, happy, cheerful and very professional. We work as a team to sort cases efficiently and with the best care possible." Karen, (Senior Vet, Exotics Interest)
