The Mewes Vets in Rottingdean is looking for an experienced full or part-time vet to join our caring, friendly team, as our colleague is answering the call of the charity sector. This role would suit a vet who would like to settle down and build relationships with our clients, and value our one-pet-one-vet philosophy; a vet with empathy for the patient and owner, excellent communication skills and telephone manner; a vet who enjoys a pleasant mix of consulting and operating, including dentistry, and some sole charge.

The Rottingdean branch (formerly run by Coastway) was opened under the Mewes banner 3 years ago. We treat pets as friends, and endeavour to have the same vet see that pet on its every visit, allowing us a closer bond with our patients. We call this our one-pet-one-vet policy.

But by doing this we always have the capacity to see sick pets when their owners are worried about them, without (usually!) double booking, or asking our team to work late.
