We are looking for a relief veterinarian, or consistent part time help to start Summer 2023. Our practice is a busy small animal clinic in the mountains, but despite our somewhat remote location we have a very modern practice with new equipment, and an excellent support staff.
One of our full time vets is taking a leave this summer for a few months. While she is away we do need relief help, but we are also looking to hire a permanent part time veterinarian as our clinic is expanding. We are in the process of moving to a brand new building with 6 exam rooms and we are excited to be able to accommodate more staff.
Pay is negotiable, but would come with production bonuses, even for a relief vet paid by the day. A part time position would include benefits.
The position involves an appointment/exam every 30 minutes. Surgical/dental skills are a plus but are not a requirement as we have dedicated surgical days that can be covered by other vets on staff. Shifts are 8am - 6pm with a 90 minute lunch. Our patients consist of about 85% dogs, 15% cats. There are no on call or after hours requirements.
