Relief Emergency Veterinarian | Norfolk County, Massachusetts

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established, full-service GP/specialty/emergency hospital in Norfolk County that is looking for a dependable Emergency Relief Veterinarian to join their team on a relief basis. This 24/7 hospital has been serving the South Shore of Boston area for decades and offers a genuinely well-equipped environment for advanced emergency and critical care medicine. The hospital sees a unique caseload of dogs and cats and is looking for a skilled emergency vet who can slot into a busy, established ER team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to practice advanced emergency medicine within a modern, full-service facility, working alongside a cohesive and experienced team rather than in an under-resourced setting. You will have access to a spacious treatment area, multiple surgical suites, and specialized isolation and exotic wards, along with strong diagnostic and critical care support. The role will involve a varied emergency and critical care caseload, supported by an in-house laboratory and pharmacy, digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy. The hospital's ICU offers oxygen and temperature support, long-term ventilation, continuous fluids and infused medication, and advanced patient monitoring, giving you the tools to manage complex and critical cases confidently.

• Decades-long, well-established presence serving the South Shore of Boston area
• Modern, full-service facility with four surgical suites, treatment area, and specialized isolation and exotic wards
• Digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy on site
• ICU with oxygen and temperature support, long-term ventilation, continuous fluids, and advanced monitoring
• In-house laboratory and pharmacy
• Cohesive, dynamic emergency team
• Convenient location minutes south of Boston, with easy access to the city, coastline, and New England outdoor activities

About You

• DVM or VMD (or equivalent) from an AVMA accredited university
• You hold or are eligible for an active Massachusetts veterinary license
• Solid emergency and critical care skillset
• Comfortable managing a varied ER caseload, including complex and critical cases
• Confident working within an established, fast-paced emergency team
• Strong communication skills and a calm, practical approach under pressure
• Previous ER relief experience is beneficial, although vets new to ER relief are encouraged to enquire

Benefits

• Flexibility to work shifts around your own schedule
• Access to a modern, well-equipped facility and strong support team
• Shift schedule and clinical expectations communicated in advance
• Continued support from Atlas Relief throughout the assignment
• Access to more relief opportunities than you would typically secure independently
• Personalized hospital matching based on your clinical style and preferences
• Support with rate negotiation to maximize earning potential
• Administrative coordination handled on your behalf
• Fast and reliable payment for your shifts
• Option for sustainable long-term partnership or one-off shifts
