About the Practice

\n

\n

\n

An established, independent small animal practice in East Sussex is looking to recruit an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join its friendly and supportive team on a permanent basis.

\n

\n

The practice has a busy and varied first-opinion caseload and prides itself on delivering a high standard of patient and client care. Whilst the practice also sees exotic species, there is no requirement to work with exotics, making this an excellent opportunity for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon.

You'll be joining a close-knit team of 4 Veterinary Surgeons and 5 Registered Veterinary Nurses, with a strong focus on collaboration, clinical excellence, and work-life balance.
