Who we are:

Veterinarian Opportunity – El Cerrito Veterinary Care | East Bay, CA

El Cerrito Veterinary Care is a modern, full-service hospital serving pets and families throughout the East Bay, including El Cerrito, Berkeley, Oakland, and surrounding communities. We are proud to deliver high-quality medical, dental, surgical, and diagnostic care in a collaborative, supportive environment where both our patients and our team members thrive.

ECVC is the kind of hospital where you’ll find a welcoming team, strong leadership, and a schedule that supports work-life balance—without after-hours or on-call shifts.

Why El Cerrito Veterinary Care Stands Out

• Established, community-focused hospital with a loyal and diverse East Bay clientele
• Recently refreshed with a light remodel, including new paint and updated flooring, creating a bright, welcoming environment
• Skilled, experienced support staff that allows doctors to practice efficiently and confidently
• Modern equipment and a commitment to high-quality medicine
• Collaborative culture that values communication, mentorship, and continued growth
• No weekends, no after-hours, and no on-call responsibilities

If you’re looking for an opportunity where you can practice excellent medicine, grow professionally, and enjoy life outside of work, we’d love to connect.

What's in it for you:

Schedule & Compensation

• 4-day or 3-day work week (4/10s or 3/10s) for true work-life balance
• Tues - Fri schedule available (Fridays are a must!)
• Base salary of $150,000–$180,000 annually based on experience and schedule
• Production bonus with no negative accrual
• Sign-on and/or relocation bonus available

Comprehensive Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company support
• Generous CE allowance and CE time off
• Paid time off + sick time
• Professional liability coverage
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Additional benefits designed to support your wellbeing

We’re incredibly proud of the supportive culture we’ve cultivated and the high-quality medicine we deliver here at El Cerrito Veterinary Care. We’d love the opportunity to share more about what makes our practice special and how you could be part of our team!
