Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

Introduction
This is a unique opportunity for a Surgery and Dentistry Focused Veterinarian to join a brand-new clinic opening in Corvallis, Oregon, dedicated to improving access to essential veterinary care. This role is designed for a veterinarian who wants to focus exclusively on surgery and dentistry, delivering meaningful, hands-on care that directly supports pets and families in the local community. The clinic has been created with a clear purpose: to remove barriers to care while maintaining high clinical standards and a compassionate, sustainable approach to medicine.

Working Hours / Rota
The rota is structured around dedicated surgical and dental caseloads, allowing veterinarians to focus their time on procedures rather than general practice appointments. Scheduling is designed to support consistency, efficiency, and a sustainable working pattern, with an emphasis on predictability and balance as the service grows.

Role Description and Responsibilities
In this role, you will focus exclusively on performing surgical and dental procedures, using your technical skills to deliver safe, effective, and accessible care. You will manage cases from pre-operative assessment through to post-operative follow-up, working closely with support staff to ensure high clinical standards and positive patient outcomes. Clear, compassionate communication with clients is central to the role, as is collaboration with colleagues to continuously refine protocols and improve service delivery. This position is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys procedural work and wants their clinical skills to make a tangible difference.

Practice Details
The clinic is purpose-built to support surgery and dentistry, with workflows, equipment, and systems designed specifically around procedural efficiency and patient safety. The service is focused on companion animals, providing essential surgical and dental care without the complexity of full general practice case loads. As a newly opening clinic, there is genuine opportunity to contribute to how services are delivered, helping shape a model of care that is both clinically sound and community focused from day one.

Team
You will be part of a collaborative, employee-first team culture built on mutual respect, trust, and shared purpose. The environment values mentorship without micromanagement, open communication, and teamwork over hierarchy. Every team member plays a meaningful role, and the culture is designed to ensure you feel supported, valued, and confident in the impact of your work.
