Fix or flex – work life balance that works for you

We can offer flexibility that actually works for you. 

About Us

Established for nearly 29 years, AlphaPet is a 3 centre practice based on the beautiful South Coast, which boasts a fabulous coastline and plenty of wide-open space on the South Downs for country walks. Bognor is an entertainment hub with Butlins and Hotham Park, as well as a local cinema, multiple pubs, and places to eat. Heaps of seaside shops and fun, including the pier and promenade train rides! There is a multiplex cinema in Chichester, with a bowling alley and various big name restaurants and on the outskirts, you can even try your hand at water sports! 

We have local transport links to trains that service Gatwick and London and a short drive to Portsmouth will give you plenty of outlet shopping and links to the ferries to the Isle of Wight and France. If you fancy some history, there is also the historic town of Arundel with the Castle, lake, and quaint little shops. 

The Practice itself has free parking at all 3 sites. In terms of equipment, we’ve got Ultrasound, Endoscopy, Digital X-ray, Cryo surgery, Radio surgery and a fully equipped lab.

We work closely with a local wildlife hospital, so if you like something a bit different from the usual cats and dogs, we see a lot of wildlife too. Some of our staff are members of British Divers Marine Life Rescue, so we’ve even had the odd seal!

About the Team and Culture

We have 7 permanent Vets, 6 RVNs and 3 SVNs, along with a great support team of VCS/ANAs, Reception and Admin team. We are a progressive practice that actively encourages and supports personal development. We have a number of team members gaining certificates in a number of areas. 

We are enhancing our client-based support by gaining our Cat Friendly status (ISFM) along with personal cat friendly professionals on all staff, becoming a Rabbit Friendly Practice and gaining our Fear Free Professional status, all in the aid to reduce stress and anxiety within our patients. We are a certified Bee Friendly practice, with the aim to enhance our Eco-friendly approach and sustainability. 

We are a close-knit team, and we never leave anyone in the lurch and we’re always up for a laugh! Many are friends outside of work and often organise days out, dog walks, trips to the cinema, or just out for a drink or bite to eat. We don’t shy away from sponsored events either. We have marathon runners, 3 peaks climbers and Castle abseilers, who have all done their bit for charity over the years.
