Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

Job Description

Looking for a veterinary role where no two days look exactly alike—and you still have people around you who want to help you succeed?

This full-time opportunity offers a broad mixed-animal caseload in a rural community setting, with opportunities to work across small animal, large animal, equine, and select exotic cases. Whether you're an experienced DVM or a new graduate ready to build your confidence, you'll have room to develop your skills while working alongside a supportive team.

What You'll Find Here

• More variety in your medicine — Move between companion-animal appointments, large-animal cases, surgery, and urgent needs rather than being limited to one type of practice.

• Mentorship that meets you where you are — New graduates can receive individualized guidance, while experienced veterinarians can continue developing areas of interest.

• A team that works together — You'll have colleagues to collaborate with when cases become challenging, including support around urgent and emergency situations.

• Opportunities beyond routine GP — Build experience in surgery, dentistry, emergency medicine, and a broader range of species.

• A practical, relationship-focused approach — Work directly with clients to create treatment plans that prioritize quality care while considering real-world circumstances.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a mixed-animal general practice with urgent and emergency care, offering a diverse clinical mix. The caseload can include small animals, large animals, equine patients, and select exotic and wildlife cases.

The practice has digital radiography, in-house laboratory capabilities, ultrasound, advanced diagnostic support, and resources for large-animal handling and treatment.

Who Might Love This

• A new graduate who wants hands-on mentorship

• An experienced mixed-animal veterinarian looking for variety

• A DVM interested in surgery or emergency medicine

• Someone who enjoys working with both companion and production animals

• A veterinarian who prefers rural practice and meaningful client relationships
