Emergency Veterinary Care Center
Job Description
Job Description
WHO WE ARE:
Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) is a rapidly growing group of emergency veterinary clinics with 5 locations across the Midwest. Our mission is to continue to expand into and support communities who need us the most—where pet owners don't have access to 24/7 vet care.
We believe in providing exceptional, around-the-clock care—because emergencies don't just happen between 9-5.
WHAT'S LIFE LIKE AT EVCC?
At EVCC, we genuinely care about whoever walks through our door—whether it be a sick pet, their parent, or one of our own team members.
We're a veterinarian-led company that truly values the perspectives and leadership of our DVMs. Started by 36 area general practice veterinarians—the majority of whom remain involved with EVCC today—we're proud of the collaborative environment that exists in all our locations.
Because let's face it; while emergency veterinary care is an exciting and fulfilling field, it's not easy. That's why we take extra special care of our team members through continuing education opportunities, promotion possibilities, and a supportive work environment you can be proud of.
REPORTS TO: Emergency Veterinarian Medical Director
POSITION OVERVIEW:
Our Highland location needs skilled, friendly and energetic Emergency Veterinarians to strive for and achieve excellence in emergency veterinary medicine in the area.
As an Emergency Veterinarian at EVCC, you will:
- Provide quality and compassionate emergency care to a diverse range of patients in a fast-paced environment.
- Collaborate with a highly skilled support team to ensure exceptional patient outcomes.
- Utilize advanced diagnostic tools and technology to make critical decisions with confidence.
Our high technician-to-DVM ratio ensures that you can focus on what you do best; patient care, diagnostics, and case investigation, while our skilled technicians and operations team handle everything else.
If you're excited by the prospect of being your clients' "superhero" in an underserved area, this is your chance.
WHY HIGHLAND?
Located just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, Highland offers the perfect blend of small-town appeal with suburban convenience and outdoor recreation.
Like to run, walk, or even bike? The Erie Lackawanna trail, a cycling/multi-use, paved rail-trail, cuts diagonally through Highland and is enjoyed by the town's pedestrians and cyclists. Looking for a little bit of everything? Wicker Memorial Park is home to an 18-hole golf course, three miles of trails, volleyball and tennis courts, a dog run, splash pad, and more.
With its charming downtown and well-maintained public parks, Highland offers something for everyone—top rated schools, excellent public services, and a close-knit community.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Deliver emergency and critical care in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
- Diagnose and treat a wide range of emergency medical conditions such as trauma, seizures, respiratory distress, and other urgent conditions.
- Perform emergency surgeries and procedures as needed.
- Communicate with the utmost compassion and provide support to pet owners.
- Collaborate with the veterinary team to create case-specific treatment plans.
- Maintain accurate records and stay current on emergency medicine advancements.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Graduate of an AVMA accredited Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program
- Possesses state veterinary license in good standing or eligible to obtain one
- Excellent problem-solving and ability to think "quickly on your feet"
- Experience in an emergency or high-volume veterinary practice
- Exceptional interpersonal skills and compassionate "bedside" manner, building trust and strong relationships with clients–both human and furry alike
BENEFITS & SUPPORT:
- Competitive compensation package, based on industry benchmarks and experience
