Job description

Relief Veterinarian I Chatham County, Georgia (1da5425a-0f9d-4baf-8c21-ca23ecbfab14)

Location Savannah, United States Sector Other Salary $100.00 to $130.00 per hour

Relief Veterinarian | Chatham County, Georgia We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established, full-service GP small animal hospital in Savannah that is looking for a dependable Relief Veterinarian to join their team on an ongoing basis. This established hospital is supported by a strong technician team and offers a genuinely well-supported environment for general practice, with 3-4 technicians per doctor ensuring you're never stretched thin. The hospital has an immediate need for October coverage, with ongoing relief needs expected through November and December, and is looking for a skilled GP vet who can slot comfortably into a busy, appointment-based schedule. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants the flexibility of relief work without sacrificing quality support, working alongside an experienced team rather than in an under-resourced setting. Appointments run on a structured 30-minute schedule and are never double-booked, giving you the time to practice thorough, unhurried medicine. A generous two-hour midday break (split between admin time and lunch) is built into every shift. The role will involve a mixed caseload of wellness and sick appointments, with no surgical expectations, so you can focus purely on medicine and client communication. You will not be expected to work solo initially; the hospital wants relief vets to feel properly supported and settled in as they learn the systems and team.

Key Highlights

• Immediate need for October coverage (Thursdays/Fridays prioritized, though Mon/Tues/Thurs also considered), with ongoing relief needs into November and December
• Well-established, full-service GP hospital in Savannah, GA
• Standard shift hours, 9:00am-5:00/5:30pm, with some flexibility around start/end times
• Strong technician support, 3-4 techs per doctor
• Appointment-only role, no surgery required
• 30-minute appointment slots, wellness and sick visits, never double-booked
• Two-hour midday break built into every shift
• Not required to work solo initially, additional support provided while you settle in
• Potential for a permanent placement further down the line, for vets who may be interested
• Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience

About You

• DVM or VMD (or equivalent) from an AVMA accredited university
• You hold or are eligible for an active Georgia veterinary license
• Comfortable managing a general wellness and sick caseload
• Confident working alongside a supportive, established technician team
• Strong communication skills and a friendly, thorough approach with clients
• Previous relief experience is beneficial, although vets new to relief work are encouraged to enquire

Benefits

• Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience
• Flexibility to work shifts around your own schedule
• Access to a well-supported hospital with strong technician staffing
