Associate Hospice and Palliative Care Veterinarian

Job Description

Job Description

Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful connection with the clients you serve? Are you feeling burnt out by the relentless hustle, packed schedules, and production-line feel of traditional clinical practice?

Caring Pathways is growing, and we are looking for true go-getters to help lead the way. As a veterinarian on our team, you will play a pivotal role in bringing compassionate, gentle end-of-life care directly into families' homes providing pets with peace and dignity in their most familiar surroundings. Because all our doctors are 100% mobile , you get out into the community where you can make a real impact every single day.

At Caring Pathways, we believe that the final chapter of a pet’s life deserves the highest level of dignity, and that the veterinarians who provide this care deserve a supportive, nurturing, and empowering environment. We give our doctors the time, autonomy, and resources to deliver excellent end-of-life medical care while building authentic connections with families, all while helping us expand our reach to serve even more pets in need.

• Be a Catalyst for Growth : This isn't just another clinical opening, it's an opportunity to help expand our footprint. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, a strong drive to succeed, and a passion for elevated care, you’ll thrive here as we open new doors and serve new communities.
• A True Family Culture : Unlike large, corporate-owned providers where you can easily become just a number on a spreadsheet, Caring Pathways is proudly privately owned. We maintain a genuine "family feel," where your voice is heard, your well-being matters, and your ambition is actively supported by leadership.
• Unmatched Support & Mentoring : Our industry-leading training and dedicated mentoring processes ensure you succeed from day one, even if you have limited prior experience in veterinary hospice, palliative care, or in-home euthanasia.
• Autonomy as a Mobile Doctor : All of our veterinarians are fully mobile, offering an incredible degree of independence and flexibility. Despite the autonomous nature of the role, you won't be doing it alone! You are backed by a highly trained client care team, veterinary technician support, and a collaborative network of peer doctors.
• Boundless Opportunities to Advance : We love self-starters. Beyond clinical practice, we offer pathways to grow into business management, team training, clinical research, community outreach, and expansion leadership.
• Always On for Our Clients : We are a 365-day-a-year service, ensuring families have support when they need it most. To maintain balance and fairness for everyone, all team members share weekend and holiday duties on an equitable rotation.

We believe in rewarding your dedication and drive. Compensation is tailored to your chosen schedule and workload, featuring a competitive base salary plus a performance/production bonus structure designed to reward high achievers, alongside a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

• Compassion First : Serve pet families with the highest levels of authenticity, empathy, and integrity.

• Clinical Excellence : Treat pets with exceptional, dignified end-of-life medical care.
• Team Mindset : Embrace a collaborative culture centered on mutual respect and family values.
• Love for the Road : Enjoy the freedom of a mobile lifestyle, bringing comfort directly to pets and families in the peace of their own homes.
