Veterinarian

Hey there. I've been recruiting for vet clinics for over a decade, and postings like this one from North Phoenix Animal Clinic are why I still love it. They're looking for a real person, not just a credential, to join their crew in Phoenix, AZ. If you're a vet who values your life outside the clinic as much as your work inside it, this might be your spot.

The Role & The Schedule

This isn't about filling a rigid 40 hour slot. They need a veterinarian to provide coverage 2 3 days each week. The ideal schedule they have in mind is Mondays and Wednesdays from 9am to 3pm, plus every other Saturday from 8am to 1pm.

But here's the thing: they explicitly say they'll work with you to build a schedule that makes sense for your work/life balance. The clinic itself operates Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, with those half days on Saturday.

You won't be on call. There are no emergency hours. They mean it when they say family friendly and flexible.

What You'd Be Doing

You'd be part of a practice that has some clear strengths. Their service mix gives you a good idea of the day to day.

• Performing low cost spay/neuter surgeries for cats, dogs, and rabbits.
• Placing a real emphasis on wellness checks and preventative health.
• Utilizing their full suite of services: surgery, general wellness, dentistry, and more.
• Working with modern tools like a state of the art surgery suite, digital radiographs, dental x rays, IDEXX in house labs, cold laser therapy, and ultrasound.
• Using eVet for all computerized records.

The environment is described as busy and fast paced, but run by a friendly staff. They're looking for someone who enjoys that rhythm, loves helping animals, and genuinely wants to learn and grow.

The Stuff That Matters (Benefits & Pay)

The benefits kick in at 30 hours per week. It's a robust list that goes beyond the basics.

• A compensation package they describe as generous and competitive; it's dependent on experience (DOE).
• There's an exciting bonus or relocation package on offer too.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance are covered; there's an HSA option available.
• A very generous annual PTO plan that allows for rollover.
• Paid parental leave for bonding time.
• A yearly CE allowance with dedicated days off to use it; professional development assistance is included.
• They pay your professional membership dues, licensing fees, and AVMA PLIT coverage.
• A structured mentorship program is part of the deal if you want it; VIN membership is also provided.
• Saving for later? There are 401(k) options available now too!
