Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

Introduction
This is an excellent opportunity for an Associate Veterinarian to join a veterinarian-led hospital delivering primary and urgent care in Tolleson, Arizona. The role is ideal for a veterinarian who values clinical autonomy, thoughtful medicine, and being part of a growing practice where their contribution genuinely matters. With the opportunity to influence how care is delivered day to day, this position offers both professional fulfilment and long-term growth potential.

Working Hours / Rota
The rota is designed to be flexible and sustainable, supporting both primary and urgent care services. Scheduling is built collaboratively to ensure continuity of care while allowing veterinarians to maintain balance and control over their working patterns as the clinic continues to grow.

Role Description and Responsibilities
In this role, you will deliver high-quality veterinary care across a mix of routine primary care and urgent care presentations. You will manage cases from consultation through diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up, while communicating clearly and compassionately with clients. The position supports independent clinical decision-making, with mentorship and collaboration available as needed, making it well suited to veterinarians who enjoy autonomy alongside professional support.

Practice Details
The clinic provides primary and urgent care services for dogs and cats, operating within a modern clinical environment designed to support efficient workflows and high standards of medicine. Clinical protocols are veterinarian-developed, prioritising patient outcomes, consistency of care, and sound clinical judgement rather than volume-driven practice.

Team
You will be joining a small and developing clinical team currently staffed by one veterinarian, offering a unique opportunity to play a meaningful role in the growth and evolution of the hospital. The culture is collaborative, feedback-driven, and supportive, allowing associate veterinarians to have a real voice in shaping team dynamics and clinical standards.
