Description
Job opening for a small animal veterinarian
We are looking for a small animal practitioner with an interest in ownership/management who wants to join our multi-doctor small animal clinic located in Chester, VT. Rockingham Veterinary Clinic has been around since the 1980s, but in 2020 moved to a spacious, newly renovated facility in the heart of Chester. Rockingham Veterinary Clinic was purchased in late 2019 by Vermont New Hampshire Veterinary Clinic, an 8 doctor AAHA accredited mixed animal hospital located 30 minutes south in East Dummerston, VT. These ‘sister’ clinics support each other, and doctors frequently practice at both locations. We continue to grow and expand our clientele, yet maintain that small-town feel and client relationship. Both clinics are located in lovely rural small towns with easy access to outdoor recreation. Vermont is known for its world-class hiking, skiing, camping, and biking. Our vets are happy to share their favorite local spots!
Why we are awesome:
We value quality of life – we strive to get our doctors out on time so they can enjoy family time. Your free time belongs to you!
We offer a friendly, supportive environment with mentorship as needed
Our staff and practice manager support you, and our front desk staff does an amazing job at booking (no double-booked appointments!)
Flexible work schedule – if you prefer evenings, great! Need ¾ days to pick up kids? Only want to work day shifts? We can make that happen.
Bi-weekly doctor meetings where owners and practice manager all meet. Once a month all doctors attend and have a voice! We are always striving to improve.
Established and loyal client base.
Small animal positions currently have no on call obligations other than rotating 4 holidays per year.
Offerings
Relocation bonus $5,000
DR radiograph system, NEW M-11 ultrasound, and digital dental x-ray
In-house IDEXX blood and urine machines
24 hour emergency/specialty hospitals are available for referral in the area
The finer details
An experienced veterinarian with 3+ years of experience is preferred.
Four, 8-hour days/week with no on-call other than 4 holidays per year (shared amongst 5 doctors with rotating schedule, meaning up to 1 holiday obligation per year). Rotating Saturday appointment schedule amongst the vets on duty (approximately every 6 weeks). Appointments end an hour prior to shift end (time for notes and call backs!)
Pay is salaried per diem
Paid vacation, health insurance stipend, dues/licenses/DEA/liability insurance covered, CE stipend and paid CE days
Saturday hours are offered at VTNH with simplified staffing, as are holidays
Start-date is flexible. Our ideal candidate is experienced with a desire for eventual ownership or a strong interest in management. An interest in surgery, including dentistry, is not required as we have a great full-time doctor who loves surgery.
Both locations have easy access to the interstate for travel, and traffic is not an issue.
Please contact Robert Sturk (practice manager) at [email protected], Dr Warner at [email protected], or call the practice directly at 802-254-5422 and speak with our phenomenal front desk staff!
