A busy 24-hour hospital in West Sussex is looking to welcome a Night Veterinary Surgeon to the team. Set within rolling woodland, this well-known site offers the perfect balance between clinical pace and countryside calm — with the South Downs National Park and coastal walks not far from your doorstep.

The Role: 

This is a 7-on, 14-off night rota, giving you plenty of downtime while still maintaining clinical momentum. You’ll be the lead vet on site overnight, supported by an experienced team of nurses and access to a referral network when needed. The caseload is varied — emergency, inpatient care, and some walk-in cases — ideal for a vet who enjoys fast-paced, hands-on work.

This role would suit someone confident with overnight decision-making, comfortable managing emergency medical and surgical cases, and who enjoys the routine of a hospital setting.

The Hospital: 

This well-equipped 24-hour site is known for its high standard of care and strong reputation in the local area. With spacious consult rooms, full surgical and diagnostic facilities, and a supportive team culture, it’s an excellent environment for vets who thrive on collaboration and continuity.

On Offer: 

  • 7-on, 14-off rota
  • Full support from nurses and the wider clinical team
  • Competitive salary (discussed based on experience)
  • Full access to CPD, funded certificates, and career progression pathways
  • Visa sponsorship
  • Relocation support available if required

Whether you're looking to step into ECC or already experienced in night work, this role offers a great balance of clinical exposure and personal time — all set in a scenic and peaceful part of the country.
