Job description

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.
