We’re working with a great clinic in West Sussex, just a short drive from Brighton and the South Downs, as they look to welcome an experienced small animal vet into their growing team.

  • Late shifts limited to once a week (10am–8pm)

  • RCVS, VDS, BVA, ISFM memberships paid

  • CPD actively encouraged – support for certificates or further qualifications

The clinic & caseload:

  • 9 experienced vets (many doing certificates)

  • 9 qualified RVNs + supportive front-of-house team

  • Insured client base and good scope for medical work-ups

  • Modern, purpose-built space with digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab, separate dog/cat wards, and isolation

Who they’re looking for:

  • Ideally 3+ years' experience

  • Confident with consults and basic ops

  • Keen to keep learning and developing
