We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join a friendly and supportive team in a unique split role, working across two practices:
- 2 days per week in a feline-only practice
- 2 days per week in a small animal practice
This is an excellent opportunity for a confident GP vet who enjoys variety while developing a special interest in feline medicine.
The Role
You’ll be an experienced branch Veterinary Surgeon with at least 3 years’ UK small animal GP experience, confident working in a branch practice environment and comfortable with occasional sole charge. You’ll be competent in routine consultations, surgery, dentals and everyday medical cases, with the confidence to manage your own caseload.
A genuine passion for feline medicine is highly desirable. A feline medicine certificate would be welcomed, although we’re equally keen to hear from vets who are interested in working towards one.
This role also offers exciting long-term career progression, with plans to recruit a Lead Vet for the feline-only practice in 2027, making it an ideal opportunity for someone looking to develop into a future leadership position.

- 40 hours per week
- 10-hour shifts between 7:30am and 7:30pm

- 2 days off in lieu for weekends worked
Location
Based in a large town in West Sussex, you’ll enjoy easy access to Brighton, London and the South Downs National Park. The area benefits from excellent transport links, including the A24 and A27, as well as five train stations offering direct services to nearby cities and central London.

- Salary of £45,000–£65,000+ depending on experience, certificates and Advanced Practitioner status
