Shore Haven Veterinary Hospital is a small animal practice that prides itself on being approachable, community-rooted, and genuinely supportive behind the scenes. We’re not trying to be flashy, we just focus on doing solid, thoughtful medicine and treating each other like professionals who like coming to work.
We’re looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join us in either a full-time or part-time capacity. Whether you’re experienced and ready to settle into a steady, collaborative environment or a newer grad looking for a place that won’t throw you into the deep end, there’s room for you here.
What the day-to-day looks like:
You’ll see a mix of wellness and sick appointments, build real relationships with clients (the kind where they trust your recommendations), and work alongside a team that knows how to keep things moving without making it chaotic. We value efficiency, but not at the expense of patient care or your sanity.
Our support staff is experienced, engaged, and actually utilized the way they should be, so you can focus on practicing medicine - not juggling everything yourself.
What makes this place different:
- A team that communicates like adults (no drama, no guessing games)
- Leadership that’s present and reasonable
- A pace that’s productive but not overwhelming
- Clients who are loyal and invested in their pets’ care
- Flexibility to shape your schedule in a way that works for your life
We’re a great fit if you:
- Enjoy practicing high-quality medicine without overcomplicating it
- Like collaborating and bouncing ideas off other doctors
- Appreciate a steady, predictable environment
- Want to feel comfortable asking questions—or offering input
Benefits include:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance options
- 401(k)
- Company-sponsored EAP
- Referral bonus
- Employee pet care discount
Whether you’re looking for a full-time home or a part-time role that still feels meaningful and connected, Shore Haven is a place where you can settle in, do good work, and actually enjoy the people around you.
