Veterinarian – Small Animal GP with Surgery | Newark, New Jersey

Global Talent Partners is proud to be partnering with a growing independent small animal practice in Newark, New Jersey, to recruit an experienced Small Animal Veterinarian with a passion for surgery.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a modern, privately owned practice that has experienced consistent growth since opening seven years ago. Backed by an ambitious leadership team with plans for future expansion, this role offers the rare chance to become a key clinical figure within a thriving practice while benefiting from a genuine profit-sharing model.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a veterinarian with a minimum of two years' experience who is confident in both general practice medicine and routine soft tissue surgery. The successful candidate will play an integral role in developing the surgical caseload while working alongside an experienced veterinarian who focuses primarily on dentistry and preventative medicine.

The practice is seeking someone who enjoys building client relationships, providing high-quality medicine, and taking ownership of surgical cases within a collaborative and supportive environment.

Surgical Caseload

You'll have the opportunity to perform a varied range of procedures including:

• Routine spays and neuters
• Mass removals
• Caesarean sections
• Cherry eye repairs
• Laceration repairs
• Umbilical hernia repairs
• Aural hematoma repairs
• General soft tissue surgery
• Primary care consultations and medical work-ups

The long-term goal is to establish dedicated surgery days, allowing you to develop your surgical interests while maintaining a balanced GP caseload.

The Practice

This purpose-built practice has been serving the local community for seven years and has built a rapidly growing client base, creating the need for an additional veterinarian.

You'll be joining a close-knit team consisting of:

• 1 Veterinarian (focused on dentistry and primary care)
• 2 Veterinary Technicians, due to increase (be involved with the hiring process)
• Dedicated Client Care/Reception support

Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes, allowing time to deliver thorough medicine without feeling rushed. Daily caseloads typically range between 15 and 25 appointments, providing an excellent balance between quality care and productivity.

The clinic is fully equipped with modern diagnostic and surgical facilities including:

• Digital radiography
• Comprehensive dental equipment
• In-house laboratory
• Fully equipped surgical suite
• Modern anaesthetic and monitoring equipment
• AI-assisted SOAP note technology to reduce administrative workload

With no out-of-hours commitments and no multi-site working, you'll enjoy genuine work-life balance while practising high-quality medicine.

The Team & Culture

Unlike many corporate environments, this practice is independently owned and led by an entrepreneurial management team committed to investing in both its people and the future of the business.

The owners encourage collaboration, value clinical input, and are committed to creating an environment where veterinarians can help shape the direction of the practice as it continues to grow.

One of the standout features of this opportunity is the flexible compensation structure, allowing veterinarians to choose the balance between guaranteed salary and profit sharing that best suits their career goals.
