Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

We are working on behalf of a well established small animal hospital in Montpelier, VA that is looking to add a full time Veterinarian to its team.

This is a practice built around comprehensive care, with doctors covering medicine, surgery, and dentistry across a varied small animal caseload. The hospital is equipped with digital x-ray and ultrasound, so you can work cases up properly in house rather than sending them elsewhere. What stands out most about this role is the schedule. Shifts are built around your availability, there is no on call, and there are no late night expectations, so you can leave on time and keep your evenings your own.

The staff to doctor ratio is strong, which means you are supported by experienced technicians who know the practice and take real pressure off your day. The team is genuinely invested in staying current with best practice and in offering informed, compassionate care to every patient. This suits a veterinarian who wants a full clinical caseload without the burnout, whether you are well established or a few years into your career.

Alongside a competitive base salary with production, the practice covers your licenses and dues, funds continuing education, and offers generous paid time off. Longer term partnership and co-ownership pathways are also available to explore through the wider group.

Montpelier sits just north of Richmond, so you get easy access to the city while living somewhere quieter and more affordable.
