This is more than just a part-time position — it’s an opportunity to practice high-quality medicine in a calm woodland setting while being part of a respected and well-supported veterinary network.

Why Maidenbower?

 A Setting That Inspires

Our practice is surrounded by rolling woodland in West Sussex, offering a peaceful working environment rich in wildlife and natural beauty. With the South Downs National Park and the Jurassic coastline within easy reach — and Gatwick Airport just 10 minutes away — you’ll enjoy the perfect balance between countryside calm and city access.

Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to promote efficiency and comfort, with:

  • Advanced diagnostic equipment
  • Dedicated surgical space
