Come and join our team!

We have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our experienced team in sunny Eastbourne. We are ideally looking for a vet with experience and a keen interest in surgery and a desire to mentor and teach others.

You will enjoy a varied caseload across our three practices, a mix of consulting and surgical time and be part of a collaborative team of clinicians all working together to deliver the best possible patient and client experience.

Our team of vets bring a variety of interests and experience and include certificate holders. We are always keen to support further development through the funding of post graduate qualifications, CPD and investment in equipment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a vet with a surgical bias and or another preferred area of interest. We believe in supporting our clinicians to do the job they love.

Typically, our Vets work a 3 or 4-day week rota with 1:4 Saturdays and no Sunday, night or bank holiday work. Our working pattern is flexible, and we are open to discussing what works for you.
