Job description

VCA Swengel Animal Hospital is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our 2-doctor team in Indianapolis, Indiana.

We have been serving our local community since 1983. We have a very loyal client base and it continues to grow. We pride ourselves on being efficient and have a collaborative approach to medicine. Our staff is like family and one of our greatest attributes is the longevity of the staff. We work as a team to deliver the best medical care for our patients, as well as the best experience for our clients. We believe in providing opportunities for professional development and additional discussions can be made, if there is interest in taking on a leadership role.

Our hospital is located on the Southside of Indianapolis. We are located just one block from the Historic Homecroft Neighborhood, a neighborhood that began following World War 1 and is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Our hospital is 7 miles from downtown Indianapolis, about a 20-minute drive to Lucas Oil Stadium, Home of the Indianapolis Colts, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Home of the Indiana Pacers and Victory Field, Home of the Indianapolis Indians. Our hospital is also conveniently located 20 minutes from the racing Capital of the World, Speedway Indiana, Home of the Indianapolis 500. We are also a 25-minute drive to the airport, (the best airport in North America, 5 years running). Our hospital location offers the best of both worlds. We are close enough to all the action that Indianapolis has to offer, yet has the hometown feel of a smaller town.

As a member of the VCA family, your passion for medicine and compassion for pets and people is matched with a commitment to your professional growth.

At VCA we are committed to equity, inclusion, and diversity, and strive to be a place where a talented mix of people want to come, stay, and do their best work.
