Lead Veterinarian
4 weeks ago
Summary:
Who we are:
Have you ever wondered what happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford veterinary care? We did. The ASPCA’s Community Medicine (CM) team provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic and preventive care. CM treats people and pets with dignity and respect, assisting pet owners in making informed decisions about their pets’ health and wellbeing regardless of their financial circumstances. When you come to work at the ASPCA, you join a team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues with deep knowledge, skills, and passion for the animals we serve.
What you’ll do:
Support new and experienced veterinarians in reaching their potential at a job they are proud of, where animal well-being, teamwork and serving the community are at the core of our work. As a member of the management team, you will deliver key CM objectives: lead a happy, high-functioning team, ensure patients receive the highest-quality care with minimal fear and stress, and deliver outstanding client experiences to maximize the ASPCA’s impact in the community. As both a player and a coach, you will work as a CM veterinarian as needed – seeing appointments, treating cats and dogs in our Primary Pet Care (PPC) program or performing high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN) for shelter/rescue animals and beloved pets.
What you’ll get:
- Work/life balance:
- five-day work week with two days off to recharge – regular day shifts with no on-call or after-hours
- paid vacation time to relax
- paid sick time to heal
- three paid continuing education days and a CE stipend to keep your skills sharp
- ten paid holidays to observe
- plus – paid personal time to celebrate what and when you like
- Terrific benefits package:
- medical, dental, and vision insurance
- pre-tax dependent care and health flexible spending accounts (FSAs)
- 401(k) plan with generous employer contributions beginning after one year of service
- employer-paid life and long-term disability insurance
- veterinary state license fee reimbursement
- and more - note that benefits are subject to change annually
- Room to grow: the ASPCA has robust professional development programs to help you grow as a veterinarian and a leader
- Support: structured mentorship from experienced veterinarians - we are one of the largest and most impactful animal welfare organizations in the world, so you will always have a strong team to lean on and cheer you on
