Veterinary Surgeon - full or part time - supportive team - varied caseload

A fantastic opportunity has become available at our well-established, 100% small animal practice in Hove. We’re looking for a dedicated and ambitious veterinary surgeon to uphold and build upon the high standard of care that Hove Companion Care is proud to deliver.
"Always friendly, knowledgeable, unhurried and gentle with my dog. Thank you!"
Our clients love us, and we think you will too!

The practice is based inside Pets at Home on the busy Goldstone Retail Park giving the team great exposure to new and varied clients. The location of the practice also benefits from being just a short distance from Brighton and within easy reach of direct train lines into central London.

The team see a real mix of clients and most of their clients are insured allowing cases to be worked up to a high standard. The bright, spacious, air-conditioned surgery is purpose built to industry leading standards and has state of the art equipment.

This role would suit an experienced vet who has great communication skills and is looking to work with a positive and passionate team. We are looking for a minimum of 3 years’ experience and you will need to be confident with all routine surgical and medical cases.

By joining our supportive team, you will be part of a team of 3 vets, 5 nurses, 2 receptionists and practice manager. The whole team is dedicated to providing a superb standard of client and animal care. This role plays a key part within a small, friendly team so the ideal candidate will need to be adaptable, flexible and a good team player.

We are open to full or part-time candidates with a 1 in 3 Saturday morning rota and time off in lieu during the week. There is no OOH.

We are offering:

• Salary up to £70,000 (dependant on experience)
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room and the Vet Group.
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with length of service.
• Death in service and income protection after 1 year service.

We take our inspiration from pets in embracing people from all walks of life, and we value, respect and celebrate difference. We encourage our people to be their best selves so that we can create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. Our ambition is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and we are intentional in addressing and removing barriers to create opportunities for the exceptional talent and potential in our communities. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
