How you fit in
You will make animal welfare your first consideration in seeking to provide the most appropriate attention for the animals committed to your care. This should be carried out using knowledge of animal physiology, nutrition, and medicine with your practical skills to diagnose illness, prescribe medicines, and perform imaging tests, laboratory tests, and surgery.
Find a team that cares for you
We are a 7 site practice with branches spread between Worthing and Brighton. We were founded in 1958 and are now part of a larger group: IVC Evidensia. We are also in partnership with Vetsnow, who look after our Out Of Hours operation, on-site. We have approximately 85 team members across our 7 sites.

These branches are located in the vibrant seaside town of Worthing on the South Coast. We are in between the beautiful seafront and the stunning South Downs. We have several train stations nearby, with links to Gatwick and London, less than an hour away.
