Professional veterinary recruitment

We are recruiting on behalf of a small animal independent practice in Haywards Heath, West Sussex for a Permanent Veterinary Surgeon to join their team.

This is a full time position with a generous 1 in 6 weekend rota comprising of both Saturday and Sundays. There is one day off during the week. There is one night per week on call where the vet holds the phone and can sleep in the duty room. For a very local vet close to the practice then OOH could be manageable from home. A night nurse is also on call for support. OOH is rewarded and there is also the requirement to work one bank holiday per year and a bonus is also provided for this.

This is an independent practice which has a large supportive team of vets and nurses. They are looking for a Vet who ideally would be able to hit the ground running. Support is in place but ideally the vet would be confident in most routine surgeries.
