For a complete understanding of this opportunity, and what will be required to be a successful applicant, read on.
You've put in the years. You know your cases, you trust your instincts, and you're done asking permission to practice good medicine.
At Gayton Vets, you'll have the clinical autonomy and scope to practice high-quality medicine your way, with real ownership of your cases from start to finish - backed by our incredibly experienced RVN and VCA team who, together with you, make a seriously strong clinical partnership.

This is clinical leadership of our Horley branch: sole charge day to day, with the full support of an experienced team around you. You'll run your own case list from first consult to final follow-up, build the client relationships that bring the reward to general practice, and shape how our branch grows under your direction.

We're looking for someone who's genuinely comfortable holding that responsibility: you've done sole charge before, and you're ready to own it fully now.
Your working week

• 4 days (3 considered for the right candidate)

Visiting specialists cover imaging, medicine, ophthalmology, soft tissue surgery and orthopaedics, plus access to an outpatient CT scanner, so you get branch-level autonomy without losing the wider clinical network.

Several of our vets have stayed 10–15 years and counting. We like to hope th...
