We have an exciting opening for a Veterinary Surgeon at our Faygate hospital.

Medivet Faygate (Seers Croft Veterinary Surgery) is an exceptionally well equipped hospital in a leafy location, very close to Gatwick airport and with good transport links to London.

The varied caseload ranges from routine first option and exotic work (with dedicated exotic vets), a rehabilitation service, orthopaedic and soft tissue surgical caseload and inpatient care with a hospital caseload fed from several surrounding practices.

A strong interest in either medicine or surgery is ideal and clinical development will be supported and encouraged. 

The role allows for a good work life balance by working 39 hours a week over 4 days. You will also be part of a 1:6 full weekend rota.
