Ready to combine clinical excellence with coastal living? This Lead Vet role in Worthing offers a 4-day week, manageable weekend rota, and access to advanced facilities with a genuinely happy team.
1 in 4 weekends, mornings only, with time off in lieu. OOH cover provided by linked DNA-owned 24-hour emergency hospital.
You'll join a thriving independent practice in Worthing as an Experienced Lead Veterinary Surgeon, working a 4-day week with 1-in-4 weekend mornings (time off in lieu). This is a role where your clinical ability shines with an engaging, progressive caseload backed by exceptional modern facilities and a genuinely collaborative team environment.
The practice sits in a bustling coastal town that punches well above its weight for lifestyle: think morning walks along the promenade, independent cafés and restaurants, direct train access to Brighton and London, and the South Downs minutes away for hiking and cycling. Worthing delivers the rare blend of seaside calm and serious clinical opportunity.
DNA Vetcare is a proudly independent group of multi-award-winning surgeries founded in 2006 by veterinary surgeons Alan van Heerden and Dane Walker. The founders bring years of experience from high-quality practices across London and Kent, supported by Director Claire Baker (who joined in 2019 and heads group operations and vet recruitment). The practice is built on a network of handpicked veterinary surgeons known for clinical excellence and compassionate care.
The Worthing surgery enjoys a strong reputation with a loyal, home-grown client base and consistently high demand. It offers access to both the main branch and sister practices, an advanced referral ophthalmology service via Eye Vetcare (led by original owner Iain), and a linked DNA-owned 24-hour emergency hospital within the region. The team is committed to excellent client service, respectful and caring animal care, and a supportive, encouraging workplace culture.
