🐾 Veterinary Surgeon vacancy – Full or Part Time 🐾
We're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon with some experience who'd like to join our friendly, supportive team at Hawthorn Vets.
We'd be delighted to accept applications from vets looking for either a full or a part-time role.
Hawthorn Vets is an independent, family-run small animal practice with surgeries in Henfield, Hassocks and Partridge Green, serving pets and their owners across West Sussex. We've grown steadily by investing in modern facilities, embracing new technology and, most importantly, supporting our team.
Our team really is at the heart of everything we do. Many of our colleagues have been with Hawthorn for 10, 15 and even over 20 years, something we're incredibly proud of. We work hard to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work, support one another and have the freedom to practice excellent veterinary medicine.
Our purpose-built Henfield practice is exceptionally well equipped, including two operating theatres, laparoscopic and orthopaedic equipment, a full IDEXX laboratory suite, digital and dental radiography, a three-probe ultrasound scanner and modern anaesthetic monitoring. You'll enjoy a good balance of consulting and surgery, protected operating time, dedicated admin time and the opportunity to work up your own cases, with support from experienced colleagues whenever you need it.
We offer:
🐾 Full or part-time considered
🐾 Four-day week for full-time vets
🐾 1 in 5 Saturday mornings
🐾 No out-of-hours
🐾 Competitive salary, dependent on experience
🐾 Five weeks' holiday plus bank holidays
🐾 Generous CPD allowance and support for further development
🐾 Sage Benefits staff perks scheme
🐾 Staff discount
🐾 A genuinely supportive, experienced team
One of our vets summed it up perfectly:
"The team is what makes Hawthorn so great. Hawthorn gets the balance of clinical excellence and team spirit perfectly." – Alex, Veterinary Surgeon
If you're looking for a practice where you'll be supported, trusted and encouraged to develop, we'd love to hear from you.
