Based in Ashington, West Sussex, our RCVS-accredited Tier 3 Equine Hospital offers the ideal blend of countryside, coastal, and city living.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to deliver ambulatory care to leisure and competition horses across the picturesque Sussex countryside. The position is full-time (40 hours per week, Monday–Friday) with a 1:4 out-of-hours rota plus a 1:4 weekend commitment.
