Introduction
Our client is a privately owned veterinary hospital seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join their dedicated and high-volume practice. The clinic provides care for small animals, pocket pets, and occasional exotics. The hospital takes on general practice, urgent care and emergency cases. While exotics and pocket pets are seen, the incoming doctor does not have to treat these species. The hospital is open to candidates who prefer to see only dogs and cats, which make up the majority of the caseload. With seven DVMs and services offered seven days a week, the hospital is open to a wide range of interests including GP, emergency, and surgery-focused roles.

Working Hours / Rota
The hospital is open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm. Most doctors work four, 10-hour days with a 1.5-hour lunch break and typically see 30-minute appointments. Weekend coverage is required, with each doctor expected to work one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday), though there is flexibility in scheduling. Full-time is preferred.

Role Description and Responsibilities
This is a high-volume general practice role with exposure to a wide range of cases, including surgery, dentistry, wellness, and emergency medicine. Doctors typically manage appointments throughout the day and contribute to surgeries distributed across the week. The hospital is looking for an experienced veterinarian and is open to candidates who specialize in surgery. Mentorship is available, and the team is highly collaborative.
