Veterinary Career Center

Family Pet Veterinary Practice is seeking to add a veterinarian to our staff.  The ideal candidate will have strong technical skills, solid organizational aptitude, and an ability to effectively communicate with coworkers and clients.  Hours are flexible, and we believe in a good work-life balance.

We really do.  A new vet could opt to work between a single 1/2 day shift of 4 hours, all the way up to full time.  And the employed vet could opt to increase or decrease these hours over time, depending on life events/changes.  The owner was on the short end of the stick when working for others, requesting time off for kids, illness, funerals, etc., and isn't going to do the same to his employees.  Our staff has been very stable - actually adding 3 technicians since the start of Covid.

We are located near downtown Silver Spring, Maryland (borders Washington, DC).  FPVP opened in 2015 as a single doctor practice, and added a part-time associate in January of 2019.  Our client/patient base has grown steadily.  We remained open during the Covid-19 response, and high demand for our services forced us, eventually, to stop seeing new clients.

We would love for a new, caring, friendly veterinarian to join us and our client base, and help a few more dogs and cats each week.
