Job description

Managing Veterinarian

Oley Valley Animal Clinic | Oley, PA

Love practicing medicine but ready to have a bigger impact?

Oley Valley Animal Clinic is looking for a Managing Veterinarian to join our team and help lead the next chapter of our well-established small animal practice.

Serving dogs and cats throughout Oley Valley and the surrounding communities, we’re proud to combine quality medicine with the comfortable, personal feel of a community practice. We also work closely with three local rescue organizations, giving our team the opportunity to make an even bigger impact on animals throughout the area.

A Hospital Built for Great Medicine

Our hospital was remodeled just two years ago and offers a bright, modern space designed to help our team work efficiently and provide excellent patient care.

You’ll have access to:

• Seven state-of-the-art exam rooms
• A spacious, dedicated surgical suite
• A modern dentistry suite
• Well‑equipped treatment areas
• The ability to perform a wide variety of soft‑tissue surgical procedures
• Same‑day sick appointments for patients who need more immediate care
• A dedicated and experienced support team committed to helping our doctors provide exceptional patient care

Appointments are generally scheduled for 30 minutes, whether sick or wellness, allowing our doctors to maintain a steady flow while still building relationships with clients and their pets.

The Opportunity

As our Managing Veterinarian, you won’t be trading your stethoscope for a desk. You’ll remain an active part of patient care while also serving as a trusted medical leader for the hospital.

You’ll partner closely with our Hospital Manager to:

• Provide medical leadership and maintain high standards of patient care
• Mentor and support veterinarians and team members
• Help establish medical protocols and best practices
• Encourage collaboration, communication, and continued learning
• Ensure veterinary standards, regulations, and licensing requirements are met
• Partner on hospital operations, budgeting, and opportunities for growth
• Help shape the future of the practice and build a culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work

We’re also open to mentoring, making this a great opportunity for a leader who enjoys teaching, coaching, and helping other veterinary professionals grow.

A Schedule With Flexibility

We know there’s no one-size‑fits‑all veterinary schedule. Our doctors have flexibility to build a schedule that works for them, including 8- or 10‑hour days, with some doctors choosing three longer days per week.

Hospital hours are:

• Monday–Thursday: 8:00 AM–7:00 PM
• Friday: 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
• Saturday: 8:00 AM–12:00 PM
• Sunday: Closed

Doctors begin appointments at 9:00 AM, and Saturday coverage is every other Saturday.

What We’re Looking For

• Graduate of an AVMA‑accredited veterinary school or successful completion of the ECFVG certification program
• Active veterinary license
• Commitment to providing high‑quality, compassionate medicine
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Someone who enjoys mentoring, developing, and supporting others
• A collaborative mindset and desire to help a hospital and its people grow

Why Oley Valley & NVA?

• Base salary of $130,000–$175,000, depending on experience
• Production‑based bonuses
• Sign‑on, retention, and relocation bonuses available
• Flexible scheduling and work‑life balance
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Continuing education allowance
• Professional dues and memberships
• Leadership and professional development opportunities

Ready to Make It Yours?

This is an opportunity to step into an established hospital with a beautifully updated facility, a supportive team, flexible scheduling, and plenty of room to make your mark.

If you’re looking for a leadership role where you can practice great medicine, mentor others, and help shape the future of a hospital, we’d love to meet you.
