Associate Veterinarian (35470)

Company Description

Marion, Mississippi

Till-Newell Animal Hospital is seeking an experienced Associate Veterinarian to join our team in Marion, Mississippi.

Why Marion, Mississippi?

Relocating is a big decision, so here's why so many people enjoy calling this corner of Mississippi home:

Small-town living, right next door to a bigger city. Marion is a quiet residential town just northeast of Meridian, Mississippi's county seat and a regional hub, giving you small-town peace with easy access to bigger-city amenities just minutes away.

A downtown that's earned real recognition. Garden & Gun magazine has called nearby Meridian "Mississippi's unofficial seat of culture," and it's easy to see why - a flourishing arts scene, gorgeous historic architecture, and a genuinely lively downtown make it a great home base.

Live music runs deep here. Meridian is home to Mississippi's oldest live-music scene, plus the state-of-the-art Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience (The MAX), celebrating the state's legendary contributions to music, literature, and art.

Green space and outdoor recreation nearby. Meridian's Bonita Lakes Park is considered one of America's great urban green spaces, and the area is also home to Dunn's Falls and Okatibbee Lake, offering hiking, fishing, and boating just a short drive away.

History around every corner. From the historic Threefoot Building downtown to the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum at the Historic Soulé Steam Feed Works, the area offers rich history for anyone who enjoys exploring the past.

Comfortable, walkable downtown charm. Downtown Meridian offers more than a dozen locally owned boutiques and specialty shops, six museums, two beautifully restored retro theaters, and a genuinely welcoming small-city feel.

A predictable schedule that respects your life outside of work. With a structured four-day workweek, defined clinic hours, and a shared on-call system rather than extended or weekend clinic hours, this role is designed to offer real, sustainable work-life balance.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary plus production bonus
• Sign-on bonus and/or relocation assistance
• Health, dental, and vision insurance; robust 401k
• Continuing education allowance and license/DEA reimbursement
• Paid time off + CE PTO
• A genuinely supportive, experienced team culture
• A predictable schedule: minimum 4 days/week, 7:00 AM-5:30 PM, with shared on-call rotation for evenings and weekends (no extended or weekend clinic hours)
