We're thrilled to announce that Village East is moving into a brand-new, single-level facility in Spring 2027! This is a rare opportunity to join a growing practice and help shape the future of a hospital built from the ground up with our team and patients in mind. Here's a peek at what's coming: * All on one level — no stairs, no split floors, just smooth workflow * Aiming for 12 exam rooms (may land closer to 10) — a huge jump up from just 5 in our current building * 2 surgery suites, plus a double dental suite * Open floor plan for treatment, designed for better collaboration and flow * Indoor pet relief area * All-new, updated equipment throughout * New PIMS system * We're even working on adding a comfort room that opens to the outdoors Meet the Team You'll Be Joining We typically run with 3 DVMs on schedule per day, so you'll never be on an island — support and camaraderie are built into every shift.

He's a fantastic mentor for anyone early in their career looking to build surgical or rehab skills. Our support staff includes 2 full-time LVTs and 1 part-time LVT, and we maintain a 2:1 support staff to DVM ratio so our doctors are never stretched thin. We'll be honest — like a lot of practices, we've seen some turnover on our technician team, but we're actively partnering with local veterinary technician programs to recruit their newest LVT graduates and keep building a strong, skilled team. The Perks That Matter: * Competitive salary — guaranteed base + monthly production bonus * Sign-on bonus * Relocation bonus up to $10,000 for out-of-state candidates * Full benefits package, including: * Health, dental, and vision insurance * Short & long-term disability * Life insurance * 401(k) with generous company match * Annual CE allowance * Paid license & dues * Employee discounts for your own furry friends * Leadership growth & career development opportunities * Generous PTO * Early career?
