Job description

We are working on behalf of an independently owned, two hospital small animal group in Northern Maine that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team.

This is a general practice role with built in time each day for same day urgent cases, and it would suit a confident, well rounded practitioner who enjoys variety. Because the nearest specialty and emergency hospitals are several hours away, the doctors here handle a broad and genuinely interesting caseload in house, with real clinical autonomy and the option to refer when it is the right call. The team currently includes four veterinarians with a range of strengths across ultrasound, ophthalmic surgery, orthopedics, dentistry and endoscopy, and cases are shared based on interest rather than forced into a single mold.

Support is a real priority here, with a policy of at least two technicians per doctor plus a floater, and schedules that flex to protect quality of care when staffing is tight. Full time is typically a four day week with no weekends at either location, and after hours coverage is light and pre triaged, working out to roughly one five hour on call evening every two weeks. The owners are able to be creative with compensation, relocation and student loan support, and they are open to international candidates who need visa sponsorship.

If you appreciate a rural, slower paced lifestyle with strong colleagues and the freedom to practice great medicine, this one is well worth a look.

Key Highlights

• Independently owned, two hospital small animal group with a genuinely supportive, collaborative culture
• Broad, interesting GP caseload with real clinical autonomy and referral available when appropriate

• Creative, flexible approach to compensation and student loan support
