You became a vet to make a difference to pets and the people who love them. We understand that to give your very best to patients, you also need support, balance, and opportunities to grow.
This independent, community-focused group in West Sussex offers exactly that. Here, you'll find a place where your voice matters, where kindness and collaboration are the norm, and where you can practise with true clinical freedom.
Be (Truly) Valued
The team is built on respect, inclusivity, and compassion. Every colleague's contribution matters - from reception to referral. You'll be surrounded by people who share your values and support you, both in and out of work.
Feel the Difference
You'll work across a state-of-the-art hospital and a well-established branch clinic in the county. Thoughtful interior design creates a warm, home-from-home feel for clients and staff alike. With an on-site night team and referral service, patients receive gold-standard, 24/7 care - and you'll feel part of something special from the moment you step through the door.
