Veterinary Surgeon - Flexible rota - West Sussex

Looking for a practice where your wellbeing genuinely matters, your clinical interests are supported, and you'll be part of a team that truly enjoys working together?

We're looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and established team at Worthing Vets for Pets.

Our practice is built around providing excellent patient care whilst maintaining an outstanding work-life balance for our colleagues. We believe a happy team delivers the best outcomes for pets and clients, and that's exactly the environment we've created.

Why Join Our Team?

You'll be joining a close-knit, supportive team of six vets, although our day-to-day rota operates as a five-vet team due to maternity leave arrangements. Our clinical team includes two experienced Vet Partners, one with over 20 years' experience and an ECC Certificate, and another with 17 years' experience who has recently achieved a Cardiology Certificate.

You'll be supported by:

• Kristina, with 7 years' experience
• Zuzanna, with 4 years' experience and currently working towards a Behaviour Certificate
• Owen, with a keen interest in Exotics

We're passionate about supporting professional development and actively encourage colleagues to pursue their areas of interest.

Our wider team includes:

• 7 highly experienced RVNs, with four team members having over 15 years' nursing experience
• Nurses who are proactive and involved in Schedule 3 procedures where appropriate
• 8 experienced Client Care Advisors who help keep the practice running smoothly

A Practice That Supports You

We know how important it is to have time to provide excellent care without feeling rushed.

That's why our diary is carefully managed with:

• 15-minute standard consultations
• 30-minute appointments for complex cases, blood tests and PTS consultations
• 15 minutes catch-up time after every two appointments
• Two longer breaks built into each day for notes, client communications, lunch and admin
• One operation day per week per vet (hours dependent)

We are well-equipped with:

• 3 consultation rooms
• Dedicated office and colleague space
• New ultrasound equipment
• Dental X-ray
• Modern dental equipment
• Full in-house IDEXX laboratory suite including Sedivue
• Regular visiting ultrasonography and cardiology services

Work-Life Balance Matters

We're flexible with working patterns and can accommodate various working patterns full or part time with hours spread across 3 to 5 days.

1 in 6 Saturdays (9am to 6pm) /No out-of-hours/No bank holiday working

More Than Just Colleagues

We're incredibly proud of our team culture and hold regular meetings and socials including monthly clinical meetings, twice-yearly vet meetings, twice-yearly full team meetings and quarterly social events!

Our team genuinely enjoys spending time together. In fact, to celebrate 10 years together, we even headed off on a team trip to Centre Parcs!

About You

We're ideally looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys working collaboratively, values high clinical standards and is looking for a supportive environment where they can continue to grow and develop their career.

If you're looking for a practice where you'll feel valued, supported and part of a genuinely friendly team, we'd love to hear from you.
