Join a thriving independent practice on the beautiful South Coast where work-life balance genuinely comes first. No on-call, no Sundays, generous leave, and a supportive team that invests in you.
1 in 4 Saturdays only. No on-call duties, no Sunday working, no bank holiday cover.
This is a full-time position at Pet Practice's Rustington surgery, a modern small animal practice located on the South Coast with the beach just a short walk away during your lunch break. You'll work a standard five-day week plus one Saturday in four, with no on-call duties, no Sunday working, and no bank holiday cover required. This is a genuine commitment to work-life balance in an independent, family-owned practice that has built its reputation on respecting staff wellbeing.
The surgery is well-equipped with digital radiography, ultrasonography, an Idexx in-house integrated laboratory, and dedicated surgical facilities. You'll be joining a close-knit clinical team that values patient and client care above all else, with the support of experienced colleagues and visiting peripatetic clinicians.
Pet Practice is an independent, family-owned veterinary group spanning thirteen practices. Founded fifteen years ago, the business operates with a philosophy that prioritises staff and client care over corporate profit margins. All income is reinvested into staff packages and facility improvements, with major refits scheduled every ten years to maintain modern, fresh environments.
The group is led by practice owner Ben Johnson, who maintains direct involvement in decision-making and staff wellbeing. The culture is built on mutual respect, flexible working arrangements, and listening to team input. There are no restrictive covenants or joint venture arrangements, and the practice has established itself as an industry leader in salaries, leave allowances, and work-life balance for both nurses and veterinarians.
