Careers and vacancies

 

We’re always open to hearing from qualified vets, nurses and support team professionals who are interested in joining our practice.

Located on the south coast, our practice in Peacehaven is just above South Downs National Park, meaning that opportunities for walks and outdoor activities are plentiful. If that’s not your thing, we’re also a stone's throw away from the vibrant city of Brighton. 

We’re proud to have a loyal clientbase in our local community, and our smaller size allows our team to really get to know our patients and clients properly. 

We’re also a friendly bunch and love organising fun social events like curry nights for our team members!

Whatever your clinical interests, our excellent equipment and facilities allow us to deliver a high quality and compassionate service to local pets and owners. Our modern and spacious premises include an in-house laboratory, top-of-the-range diagnostic tools, a large team area and a designated nurse office with its own preparation section. 

Being part of the VetPartners family also means that we have the support of a network of respected and talented practice teams across the UK and beyond, and has allowed us to invest even further in our facilities and services.

That’s why our team has access to a huge range of learning and development opportunities, and are actively encouraged to pursue further qualifications and certificates.

For a confidential, informal chat about our availability, get in touch.
