The Opportunity

We're working with a lovely established practice in East Sussex, which is looking to welcome a Veterinary Surgeon to its team.

This is a friendly, community-focused practice with a genuinely collaborative culture. The current vets have been with the practice for an average of seven years, and the team prides itself on providing personal, high-quality care.

Clinically, the practice is well equipped to support its vets, with 20-minute consultations, protected surgery time and dedicated admin and lunch breaks. You'll also work alongside experienced RVNs who run their own nurse clinics and help coordinate diagnostics.

There's no out-of-hours or on-call work, and the practice is closed on Sundays, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a better work-life balance without compromising on clinical standards.

You’ll also benefit from an excellent package, including access to six Vet Oracle telemedicine specialists, an Advanced Clinical Services Network, Regional Clinical Leads for case support and mentoring, a health cash plan, Employee Assistance Programme, enhanced family leave and 50% discounts on veterinary services and medication for your own pets.

Full-time, part-time and flexible working arrangements are all welcome.

If you’re looking for a friendly practice where you can enjoy good clinical work, supportive colleagues and a sensible approach to work-life balance, this could be just what you’re looking for.
