Are you an ophthalmology certificate holder looking to progress, or perhaps you are currently enrolled on a certificate in search of some interesting cases and more of a challenge?

Seadown is a large, independent mixed practice, with hospital status at our main premises in near Southampton and our practice area covers the beautiful New Forest.

We see both internal and external ophthalmology referrals.

Our friendly Seadown team includes two advanced practitioners and one vet enrolled on her certificate. We have an OOH service for our own clients and can therefore hospitalise cases when required.

This could be a full or part time position, we are flexible for the right candidate and it could include some first opinion work.

Please email your CV, with a covering letter and any queries to Anna Jennings at eyes@seadownvets.co.uk or contact the practice on 02380842237. We really look forward to hearing from you.
