Job description

Associate Veterinarian - Chelan, Washington

About the Role

An established small animal practice in Chelan, Washington is seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join its supportive and collaborative clinical team.

This position offers a guaranteed base salary of $140,000-$180,000 per year, depending on experience, plus production with no negative accrual, with total earning potential of $200,000+ for veterinarians who achieve applicable production levels.

The opportunity also includes a generous sign-on bonus, paid relocation assistance, four weeks of PTO, and potential future ownership opportunities.

A major advantage is the schedule: Monday through Friday with no weekends and no overnight shifts. Both new graduates and experienced veterinarians are encouraged to apply, with personalised mentorship available for doctors early in their careers.

About the Practice

The practice combines comprehensive general veterinary medicine with daytime urgent care, providing veterinarians with varied clinical exposure without the overnight or weekend requirements commonly associated with emergency practice.

Doctors have the clinical freedom to make appropriate decisions for their patients while benefiting from experienced colleagues, strong support staff, and accessible mentorship.

New graduates can gradually develop their confidence, surgical capabilities, and case-management skills with individual guidance rather than being expected to manage a full caseload immediately.

Experienced veterinarians will have the autonomy to practise medicine independently while continuing to develop their interests across medicine, surgery, dentistry, and urgent care.

The overall culture prioritises collaboration, professional development, communication, and sustainable veterinary careers.
