Job description

Overnight Emergency Veterinarian - Bridgwater Veterinary Hospital & Wellness Centre

Full-time | 24-hour Emergency & Critical Care | Competitive Salary | $50,000 Bonus Package

Are you an Emergency Veterinarian who enjoys overnight medicine and is looking for a supportive team, a diverse caseload, and the opportunity to practice alongside experienced clinicians?

Bridgwater Veterinary Hospital & Wellness Centre is looking for an Overnight Emergency Veterinarian to join our collaborative 24-hour emergency and critical care team in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

We offer a unique combination of emergency, wellness, and referral medicine, giving our veterinarians the opportunity to see a diverse caseload while working alongside a highly experienced clinical and support team. Whether you're an experienced emergency clinician or looking to continue building your skills, you'll have access to mentorship, advanced equipment, and colleagues who are committed to providing excellent patient care.

Why Bridgwater?

Our team is built on collaboration and support. With 7 full-time DVMs, 25 RVTs, and more than 50 support team members, no one practices alone.

Our DVM team brings approximately 90 years of combined veterinary experience, including three dedicated mentor veterinarians who are experienced, long-term emergency clinicians. We currently support both a new graduate and a restricted-license DVM, reflecting our commitment to mentorship and professional growth.

Our team provides opportunities to learn from experienced clinicians across emergency medicine, surgery, imaging, rehabilitation, and more. Dr. Sra leads our orthopedic services and ultrasound, while two of our DVMs perform endoscopy procedures.

We also hold monthly department meetings to review cases, discuss protocols, and continually improve patient care. Our veterinarians are encouraged to explore areas of medicine that interest them, observe procedures, and take part in hands-on learning opportunities.

Overnight Emergency Medicine at Bridgwater

Overnight emergency medicine offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for patients when they need it most. At Bridgwater, you'll be supported by an experienced team and have access to advanced diagnostics and treatment options to help manage a varied emergency and critical care caseload.

Our hospital provides the tools, technology, and support needed to manage complex cases while maintaining a collaborative approach to patient care, with access to:

• Manitoba's first and only pet-specific CT scanner
• Ultrasound
• Digital radiology and dental radiology
• In-house IDEXX laboratory
• Fluoroscopy
• Rigid and flexible endoscopy
• Orthopedic and soft tissue surgery
• Dedicated physical rehabilitation
• Therapeutic laser
• Underwater treadmill
• Acupuncture and physiotherapy
• Visiting dermatology, ophthalmology, and dental specialists

Mentorship & Professional Growth

We believe learning never stops. Our DVMs genuinely enjoy teaching and creating opportunities for professional development.

We offer unlimited CE opportunities, including conferences, hands-on training, and online courses. Our DVMs and RVTs are also supported in completing RECOVER CPR certification, including coverage for recertification.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your emergency skills, develop your surgical abilities, explore imaging, or expand into another area of medicine, we encourage curiosity and continued growth.

A Team That Supports You

Emergency medicine can be demanding, particularly overnight, which is why our culture is built around supporting one another.

Our leadership team is hands-on and committed to work-life balance and team wellbeing. We have dedicated Health & Wellness and Health & Safety committees, along with a workplace culture that prioritizes connection, support, and taking care of one another.

From snack carts and quiet spaces to recharge, to BBQs, potlucks, community cleanups, fundraising initiatives, and local partnerships, we make time to build a strong team outside of the clinical work too.

We also proudly support animal welfare organizations in our community, including the Winnipeg Humane Society, Black Bear Rescue Manitoba, and Manitoba Mutts Dog Rescue.

$50,000 Bonus Package

We are excited to offer a $50,000 total bonus package, which may include a combination of:

• Signing bonus
• Relocation assistance
• Retention bonuses

Details can be discussed based on the successful candidate’s circumstances and experience.
