What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinarian position at NVA?
Description & Requirements
Veterinarian – Flexible Split Position Between Two Supportive Clinics
We’re seeking a compassionate, motivated Veterinarian to join two well-established, community-focused animal hospitals in rural Louisiana. This flexible split position allows you to work across two clinics, with an estimated 2 days per week at each location—though we’re also open to 3 days per week if that’s a better fit for your lifestyle.
Whether you’re a new graduate looking for mentorship or an experienced veterinarian seeking balance and variety, we’re happy to tailor this role to the right candidate. In a rural setting, we value adaptability, teamwork, and a genuine love for animals over rigid checklists.
About the Clinics
Entrance Road Veterinary Clinic – Leesville, LA
A companion animal practice serving dogs, cats, and the occasional small pet. Located near Fort Polk, our team is known for a warm, family-like atmosphere and high-quality care. Services include wellness care, spays/neuters, soft tissue surgery, and wound management.
Hayes Veterinary Hospital – DeRidder, LA
A long-standing mixed-animal practice providing care for cats, dogs, livestock, bovines, and small ruminants. (If you only want to see small animals, that is fine as well!) We’re deeply rooted in the DeRidder community and pride ourselves on combining solid medicine with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach.
