Sussex Equine Hospital is seeking an Ambulatory Equine Veterinary Surgeon.
Are you a passionate and driven veterinary surgeon looking to take the next step in your career? Sussex Equine Hospital is seeking a dedicated professional to join our ambulatory team. With a focus on providing exceptional equine care, this role offers an exciting opportunity to get involved with ambulatory care of leisure and competition horses in the beautiful Sussex countryside.
The position is 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with an approximately 1:6 out of hours rota, with a toil day after a weekend on call. A fully equipped vehicle will be provided.
Sussex Equine Hospital is an RCVS accredited Tier 3 Equine Hospital based in Ashington, West Sussex, offering great access to the countryside, the sea, and city life. We provide a full range of surgical, medical, diagnostic, and ambulatory services across Sussex and the Surrey and Hampshire borders. Our hospital is a new purpose-built state-of-the-art facility, including MRI, CT, and scintigraphy, digital radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy, and an onsite laboratory. The hospital team consists of diplomates in surgery, medicine, theriogenology, and sports medicine.
The ambulatory team is made up of 12 vets caring for a diverse caseload, including racehorses, sports, and leisure horses. As an ambulatory vet, you will provide high-quality care in both routine and emergency settings. Responsibilities include but are not limited to lameness work-ups, prepurchase examinations, medical investigations, and the use of ultrasound, digital radiography, and endoscopy. Although you work predominantly on your own, the role encourages exchange and collaboration with all the specialists in our team. With sufficient experience and qualifications, you have the opportunity to be involved with emergency duties on four local racecourses (Goodwood, Plumpton, Brighton, and Fontwell) and at FEI events in our area.
You’ll join a team of 25 equine vets, nurses, and support staff dedicated to excellent patient care and a positive team culture. We regularly engage with the local community through charity events and staff socials.
