Veterinary Surgeon – Community-Focused Role
Based at a busy branch practice in Worthing

Are you a people-focused vet who thrives on building strong client relationships and delivering outstanding continuity of care? This independently owned practice in Worthing is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their close-knit team in a friendly, community-facing role.

Here, it’s not just about the pets (although they’re at the heart of everything)—it’s also about you. Your development, work-life balance, and wellbeing are genuinely valued.

Why Join This Practice?

Proudly Independent: With clinical freedom and a values-led culture, youll never be treated like a number.

A Positive Culture: Inclusivity, empathy, and kindness run through the team—from how they support each other to how they treat clients.

Continuity of Care: Youll have the time and space to build trust with pet owners and provide tailored, ongoing care.

A Welcoming Environment: Thoughtfully designed to feel like home, not a clinic—you’ll feel the difference the moment you step through the door.
