Veterinary Surgeon – exotic caseload
Location: West Sussex
Discipline: Small animal & exotics
Are you an experienced veterinary surgeon looking to join a dynamic and growing team? Look no further. A leading veterinary practice is expanding its services in West Sussex and is on the hunt for dedicated veterinary surgeon. This is a fantastic chance to work in a state-of-the-art facility that prioritises both patient care and employee satisfaction.
Imagine working in a modern, four-floor clinic equipped with species-specific waiting areas, consult rooms, and wards for feline, canine, and exotic patients. The clinic boasts cutting-edge inpatient, surgical, and diagnostic facilities, including two theatres with laparoscopic equipment, a separate dental suite with dental X-ray, a digital X-ray suite, a Siemens CT scanner, an in-house laboratory, and even a tortoise hibernation hotel. This is a place where your skills will be fully utilised and where you can continue to grow professionally.
The roles available are versatile, catering to those interested in small animal surgery, medicine, or diagnostic imaging. For the full-time position, expect a 40-hour work week with 8-hour shifts, a mix of consultations, surgeries, and inpatient care. The role includes a maximum of 1:4 weekends with time off in lieu and a share of future bank holiday shifts, compensated at an enhanced rate. For those seeking weekend shifts, the practice offers flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle, whether you prefer regular Saturdays or occasional Sundays.
To be considered, candidates must be RCVS registered with a minimum of three years of small animal experience. Confidence in routine surgery and consultations, excellent communication skills, and a passion for animal welfare and client care are essential. Being a Vet GDP advisor would be a bonus.
The salary package is competitive, (from £45,000 FTE, depending on experience) with the potential for a discretionary annual bonus of up to 5%. Additional benefits include 30-minute paid lunch breaks, five weeks of annual leave plus bank holidays, the option to buy an extra week of holiday, and paid memberships for RCVS, VDS, and one other veterinary organisation of your choice. The practice also offers a generous CPD budget, enhanced maternity/paternity pay, and salary sacrifice health insurance.
Join a family-owned, independent practice that values compassion, respect, and balance. If this sounds like the perfect fit for you, apply today.
