Training and Jobs
We're an RCVS training practice
As well as being a busy veterinary practice, we’re also a teaching one. Student nurses can train with us, as we’re an accredited training practice with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. This means nurses can work and study with us at the same time and gain professional qualifications. Many join us as trainees and once fully trained, choose to stay at Coastway and run their own pet care clinics.
Continual Professional Development (CPD)
Anyone who joins Coastway Vets is expected to continue to learn and study to further the knowledge and experience within the practice. Our vets must attend a number of CPD talks and presentations throughout the year to ensure they stay up to date with medical advancements and procedures. We often host these at our Veterinary Hospital in Brighton which are run either by our own specialists or by visiting vets.
Vacancies
Any current Coastway vacancies are listed below. If you’d like to send us your CV in advance of any vacancy, you can send it to our HR Manager, Vicki Shears at vicki@coastwayvets.co.uk
