Associate Veterinarian

Full Job Description: 

The Welcome Waggin’ In-Home Veterinary Care Provider is seeking an enthusiastic part-time or full-time Associate Veterinarian dedicated to promoting and celebrating the human-animal bond through compassionate veterinary care and commitment to client education. Experienced veterinarians and new graduates welcome to apply!

The ideal candidate is interested in practicing quality clinical medicine in a non-clinical setting. This DVM position is on our General Practice team where you’ll be building lasting relationships with pet families while caring for dogs and cats in all life stages. A day in the life of a Veterinarian on our Travel Team can include annual and senior pet wellness exams, preventative care, medical management of chronic care patients, quality-of-life assessments, and end-of-life services. The candidate practices with a big heart and demonstrates excellent bedside manners while remaining efficient and maintaining practice boundaries. 

Our Travel Team consists of one veterinarian and one technician. The Travel Team begins each day meeting at our office location in Oswego, IL to review the patient schedule, round with our team, and gather supplies. The Oswego office is 10 minutes to downtown Plainfield and 10 minutes to downtown Oswego. The veterinarian and technician drive together to housecall appointments throughout the day. You’ll be the only doctor at the appointment but our other doctors and technicians are just a phone call away. After the last appointment, the Travel Team heads back to Oswego to return supplies and round with the rest of our team. The candidate absolutely has to be a team-player willing and able to practice flexible veterinary medicine in a non-traditional setting. 

Candidates must have a clean driving record and valid driver’s license. 

Schedule:

Our typical shifts are 8-10 hours, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9am-7pm with only one weekend shift per month required. Weekend shifts are typically half-days. You’ll also have the option to take after-hours end-of-life calls. 

Flexibility is one of our core values and this position comes with tons of flexibility in choosing your hours and shifts!  Hours can be adjusted within reason depending on if you are a morning person or evening person!  You’ll no longer have to sacrifice family time, free time, or you time!!  We are all about making your work life work for you and with that mindset we can lead to vibrant, healthier and happier lives. Doctor hours are scheduled 30-60 days in advance at minimum, or you can provide your schedule to be in place for blocks of months at a time. 

COVID-19 Precautions:

We are currently performing our housecall appointments outside of the pet’s home (yard, patio, garage). We are strictly pro-active with our team’s safety and have aggressive COVID protocols in place following recommendations and observing the CDCs guidelines. Properly worn masks are mandatory for our team as well as our clients. Clients are screened prior to appointments. Once the pandemic is under better control, we will be returning to in-home veterinary care.
