Managing Veterinarian

$20k

National Veterinary Association

Managing Veterinarian Opportunity

Governors Avenue Animal Hospital has proudly served the Dover community since the 1950s. We provide compassionate, high-quality care for cats, dogs, pocket pets, and birds, with a strong emphasis on client education, clear communication, and exceptional medical standards. We are now seeking an experienced Managing Veterinarian to lead our dedicated team.

Our hospital is built on collaboration, respect, and positivity. We are a hands-on team that supports one another, steps in when help is needed, and shares a collective commitment to excellent patient care.

The Opportunity

As Managing Veterinarian, you'll continue doing what you love most: practicing veterinary medicine and building meaningful relationships with patients and clients. In addition, you'll play a key leadership role by guiding medical standards, mentoring veterinarians, and fostering a culture where both people and pets thrive.

Job Duties:

  • Provide medical leadership and oversight of the veterinary team
  • Develop and uphold medical protocols and best practices
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and high standards of care
  • Mentor, coach, and inspire veterinarians and support staff
  • Partner closely with the Hospital Manager on budgeting, financial performance, and operational improvements

This is an ideal role for a veterinarian who enjoys leadership, values teamwork, and wants to make a lasting impact without stepping away from clinical practice.

Qualifications

  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree or equivalent
  • A strong commitment to delivering exceptional, evidence-based veterinary medicine
  • Proven ability to lead, delegate, and develop high-performing teams
  • Excellent communication, coaching, and interpersonal skills

What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation with signing and performance bonuses
  • Flexible scheduling to support work-life balance
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with company match
  • Annual CE allowance, professional dues, and equipment support
  • Unique joint venture opportunities to gain ownership and invest in your practice

Relocating MDVM's receive $20,000 or more towards stress-free relocation assistance with our corporate relocation partner*

Compensation

  • Base salary: $130,000–$175,000, commensurate with experience
  • Additional production-based bonuses
