Managing Veterinarian

Job Description

Lead a Great Team. Practice Great Medicine. Build Something That Lasts.

Managing Veterinarian | Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic

Havre de Grace, Maryland

Leadership doesn't have to mean giving up the part of veterinary medicine you love.

At Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic, we're looking for a Managing Veterinarian who enjoys mentoring others, practicing high-quality medicine, and helping shape the future of a thriving hospital-all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Whether you've been leading a team for years or you're ready to take the next step in your career, we'll provide the support, training, and resources to help you succeed. And if ownership has ever been part of your long-term goals, joint ownership is available-but never required.

Why You'll Love It Here

At Swan Creek, we believe the best hospitals are built by happy, supported teams.

You'll enjoy:

• Flexible scheduling that respects your life outside of work
• A collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working together
• Approximately five hours of protected administrative time each week
• Six months of leadership and management training
• Ongoing mentorship from experienced operational leaders and fellow Managing Veterinarians
• Opportunities to grow professionally while still practicing medicine
• Optional joint ownership for those interested in practice leadership

• Production-based bonuses
• Generous signing bonus
• $20,000+ relocation assistance for eligible Managing Veterinarians

Love Where You Live

Nestled along the Chesapeake Bay, Historic Havre de Grace, Maryland offers the perfect mix of small-town charm and outdoor adventure.

Spend your weekends boating, hiking, fishing, visiting local shops and restaurants, or exploring the waterfront-all while staying within easy driving distance of:

• Baltimore (about 45 minutes)
• Philadelphia (about 90 minutes)
• Washington, D.C. (about 90 minutes)
• Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City (under 3 hours)

It's a place where you can build a rewarding career without sacrificing the lifestyle you've been looking for.

We're Looking For Someone Who...

• Enjoys mentoring and inspiring others
• Loves practicing high-quality medicine
• Communicates with confidence and compassion
• Wants to help shape the future of a growing hospital
• Values teamwork just as much as clinical excellence

If you're ready for a leadership role where your voice matters, your ideas are welcomed, and your team truly supports one another, we'd love to meet you.

Come lead with us at Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic-and help build something you'll be proud of for years to come.
