Looking for a role by the sea where you can build confidence, develop your clinical skills and genuinely enjoy coming to work?

Northdale Vets is based in sunny Worthing on the beautiful Sussex Coast. We are a well-established small animal practice with three branches, offering a varied caseload and a supportive environment where vets are encouraged to grow at their own pace.

The Role


We are seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and experienced team.

You will work across our three branches, so access to your own transport is essential. The rota is equally shared and offers a balanced mix of consulting, surgery and procedures, giving you strong exposure to true general practice.

Working hours:
  • Between 8am and 7pm, Monday to Friday
  • Mix of early and late starts
  • 1 in 3 Saturdays, 8am to 2pm
  • No out of hours

  • This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and wants to develop across all aspects of first opinion practice.

    The Team and Environment


    You will be joining 6 Veterinary Surgeons, 9 Nurses working in a Registered Nurse Training Practice environment

    We are proud of our collaborative culture. There is always someone to discuss cases with and we actively support less experienced colleagues, while also welcoming vets ready to take on additional responsibility.

    Our facilities include a large staff rest room, kitchen area and refreshments, with the occasional treat provided. We prioritise wellbeing and work life balance, with protected morning and afternoon breaks and a full hour for lunch.

    Northdale Vets offers a wide and interesting mix of cases, providing excellent exposure to general practice. Whether you are early in your career or looking to broaden your experience further, this is a place where you can consolidate and thrive.
