Associate Veterinarian

Introduction
Our client is a privately owned veterinary hospital seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join their dedicated and high-volume practice. The clinic provides care for small animals, pocket pets, and occasional exotics. The hospital takes on general practice, urgent care and emergency cases. While exotics and pocket pets are seen, the incoming doctor does not have to treat these species. The hospital is open to candidates who prefer to see only dogs and cats, which make up the majority of the caseload. With seven DVMs and services offered seven days a week, the hospital is open to a wide range of interests including GP, emergency, and surgery-focused roles.

Working Hours / Rota
The hospital is open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm. Most doctors work four, 10-hour days with a 1.5-hour lunch break and typically see 30-minute appointments. Weekend coverage is required, with each doctor expected to work one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday), though there is flexibility in scheduling. Full-time is preferred.

Role Description and Responsibilities
This is a high-volume general practice role with exposure to a wide range of cases, including surgery, dentistry, wellness, and emergency medicine. Doctors typically manage appointments throughout the day and contribute to surgeries distributed across the week. The hospital is looking for an experienced veterinarian and is open to candidates who specialize in surgery. Mentorship is available, and the team is highly collaborative.

Practice Details
The hospital is well-equipped with digital x-rays, dental x-rays, a full in-house lab, endoscopy, and ultrasound along with weekly access to a visiting ultrasonographer. They operate with Avimark records and have recently completed a facility expansion that includes three surgical suites, 12 exam rooms, and six wet tables. Although not yet accredited, AAHA certification is a future goal. The hospital has proudly served its community for over 40 years and is known for its collaborative culture, expansive support staff, and excellent client satisfaction.
A wide variety of services are offered, including advanced procedures such orthopedic and brachycephalic surgeries, PRP injections, and emergency procedures such as explanatories, splenectomies, caesarean sections, and endoscopies. Routine procedures such as spays/neuters, mass removals and anesthetic dentals are also done on a regular basis. The hospital is equipped with a comprehensive in-house pharmacy, in-house laboratory, digital x-rays, and ultrasound.

Team
The hospital is staffed by 10 DVMs and approximately 70 support staff. Each doctor is supported daily by 1-2 dedicated room nurses who handle a wide range of responsibilities, allowing doctors to focus on practicing medicine.
