Job description

Rare opportunity for a consulting-only veterinary surgeon at our busy branches!

Our practice is dedicated to helping our team develop. If you have an interest in internal medicine, this would be ideal; however, we are open to many interests.

Flexibility that works for you

This is a Full-time or Part-Time position. Our full-time vets typically work a 40-hour week across 4 days, with a mix of early shifts (starting at 7:30 am) and late shifts (starting at 11:00 am). Weekends are 1:4, and there is on-call cover for occasional nights.

Join an exceptional practice

We are a 19-vet hospital with 8 satellite branches, with multiple certificate holders (surgery, internal medicine, dentistry, oncology, diagnostic imaging, exotics) and varied equipment. We are seeking a consult-only vet for some of our branches.
