What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Veterinarian position at Atlas Consultancy Group?
We are working on behalf of a well-established, full-service small animal hospital in Anderson, SC, that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team.
This is a true hybrid role, with a caseload of roughly 55% emergency and 45% general practice, so you can build your skills across wellness, surgery, urgent care, and emergency medicine without having to choose one path. The hospital is built for mentorship and regularly works alongside DVM and veterinary technician students, so teaching and collaboration are part of everyday life here. You will be supported by 16 credentialed technicians and 24 veterinary assistants, with GP doctors typically enjoying a 2.5:1 support staff ratio, which lets you focus on medicine rather than paperwork.
The schedule is designed to give you real time away from work: 14 to 16 shifts per month, including a rotation of four consecutive overnights followed by 5 to 7 consecutive days off, with on-call doctor support available when needed. The ER also stops accepting new cases after midnight, so the overnight team can focus on hospitalized patients, surgery, and existing cases. Whether you are an experienced DVM looking for variety or a newer graduate keen to put your training to work, you will be well supported here.
Compensation is flexible, with a choice between a guaranteed base salary or a production model, and there is no negative accrual. The hospital sits just off the highway from Greenville, with a more affordable lakeside lifestyle near Lake Hartwell and Charlotte and Atlanta within easy reach for a weekend away.
