Job description

We are working on behalf of a well-established primary care hospital in the Concord and Pleasant Hill area of California that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its experienced, collaborative team.

This is a busy, varied general practice with a loyal client base, and it suits a veterinarian who enjoys clinical variety and a fast-paced day. Alongside scheduled appointments, the hospital makes room for urgent cases, so you will regularly get to work up the more interesting walk-ins rather than turning them away. You will have the tools to practice with confidence, including in-house diagnostics, CardioPet, digital radiography, and a dedicated surgery suite.

The hospital is part of a small network of Northern California practices, which means you also get access to experienced clinicians, shared expertise, mentorship, and clinical and leadership development without losing the feel of a local, community-rooted hospital.

The team is genuinely close. They celebrate wins together, support each other through tough cases, share knowledge across experience levels, and often grab lunch together at the hospital or at one of the many restaurants nearby. The hospital is open seven days a week, and your schedule is agreed with you around the needs of the role and the team.

Compensation is strong, with a $160,000 to $180,000 base plus an uncapped production bonus and no negative accrual, along with a sign-on bonus and relocation support for qualified candidates.

Key Highlights:

• Busy, varied primary care caseload with a loyal, longstanding client base
• Uncapped production bonus with no negative accrual
• Room in the schedule to see urgent cases alongside appointments
• In-house diagnostics, CardioPet, digital radiography, and a dedicated surgery suite
• Mentorship and clinical and leadership development across a supportive network
• Flexible scheduling options agreed around you and the team
• Close, collaborative team that shares knowledge across experience levels
• Sign-on bonus and relocation support for qualified candidates

About You:

• DVM or equivalent veterinary qualification
• You hold, or are eligible for, licensure in California
• General practice experience and confidence managing a varied caseload
• Strong client communication skills and a focus on lasting relationships
• Thoughtful, compassionate approach to both scheduled and urgent care
• Collaborative mindset, happy to share knowledge and learn from colleagues
• $160,000 to $180,000 base salary plus uncapped production bonus
• Sign-on bonus and relocation support for qualified candidates
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, including virtual care
• 401(k) with 100% company match up to 4%
• Paid time off, sick leave, and paid holidays
• Employer-paid life and AD&D insurance, plus short and long-term disability
• Health and Dependent Care FSA/HSA accounts
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Program, plus Calm and Talkspace access
• Generous pet care discounts and free clinical exams for your own pets
• Free access to VetFolio
