Urgent Care Veterinarian Full-Time or Part-Time

Good Friends Animal Hospital | Champaign, Illinois

Looking for a veterinary schedule that gives you flexibility while still allowing you to practice high-quality, interesting medicine?

Good Friends Animal Hospital in Champaign, IL is looking for an Urgent Care Veterinarian to join our team! We are open to both full-time and part-time candidates and are especially interested in finding a DVM who can help us provide urgent care coverage on Saturdays and Sundays.

Beyond the weekends, we're flexible! Additional weekday shifts are available, and we're happy to have a conversation about the schedule that works best for you.

This is a great fit for a veterinarian who enjoys the variety and pace of urgent care but wants the support and relationships that come with working in an established general practice.

You'll have the opportunity to see a diverse caseload that may include:

• Same-day sick and urgent appointments
• Gastrointestinal concerns
• Minor wounds and lacerations
• Ear, skin, and eye conditions
• Respiratory concerns
• Lameness and pain
• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Other non-life-threatening urgent cases

Our goal is to provide an additional resource for pet owners who need care when their pet can't wait for the next available routine appointment, while helping alleviate the need for an emergency hospital visit when appropriate.

We know veterinarians are looking for more flexibility, and we're open to getting creative.

Our biggest need is Saturday and Sunday coverage, with opportunities to add weekday shifts depending on your availability and desired schedule.

Whether you're interested in:

• A full-time urgent care position
• A part-time weekend-focused schedule
• Weekends plus one or two weekdays
• Or another schedule arrangement that works for your lifestyle

We'd love to talk.

At Good Friends Animal Hospital, you'll be supported by an experienced veterinary team that values collaboration, quality medicine, and a positive practice culture. You'll have the opportunity to practice independently while still having a team behind you when you need them.

As part of the Heartland Veterinary Partners community, Good Friends maintains the personality and relationships of a local practice while having access to additional resources, professional development, and support.

Benefits will vary based on full-time or part-time status but may include:

• Competitive compensation
• Production opportunities
• Flexible scheduling
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) options
• Continuing education allowance
• Paid time off for eligible team members
• Professional dues and licensing support
• Employee pet care benefits
• Career growth and professional development opportunities

If you enjoy urgent care medicine and are looking for an opportunity where your schedule doesn't have to fit into a traditional Monday-through-Friday box, we'd love to connect.

Saturday and Sunday availability is our priority, but the rest is open for discussion.
