Description
The Animal Health Care Center of Hershey in Hershey Pennsylvania is looking for a small animal associate veterinarian to join our team. We are looking to add to our team of 6 (4.5 FTE) veterinarians and 20+ support team members. Full time or part time options available. We have all the shiny things you could want as a practicing small animal vet (digital radiography, dental radiography, in-house lab and ultrasound, therapeutic laser, and so on and so forth...) but our intangibles are what make us special.
we have team members who stay with us for long periods of time likely because we treat our team members well and let them do their jobs (read: so vets can be vets),
as a vet on appointments you typically get 2 technicians/assistants paired with you so once again you can do vet things and they can do tech things,
we have a separate pharmacy technician to handle pharmacy meds/refills/inquires,
we have a separate treatment technician to handle tech appointments, manage hospitalized cases, and assist with treatments on outpatient procedures,
our hospital has 5 examination rooms (4 regular exam rooms and one comfort/consult room with separate outside entrance) making appointment flow efficient,
we don't do on-call (been there done that, we're over it...and an ER center is 2 min away),
we have cloud-based computerized medical records,
we practice low-stress handling and sedate (orally or injectably) for stressful procedures so our patients don’t hate us and we don’t feel like mean people,
we have great clients (they bring us lots of treats)...
but like everyone there are some clients that drive us nuts yet we have a management team that is not afraid to let clients know if they're out of line and need to shape up or ship out,
our Christmas party is a good time (seriously some of our staff talk about it for months!),
we work hard..but also have fun (because who doesn't want to have fun?)
our hours are 7AM-6:30PM M-F and Sat AM from 8AM-12PM so no late evening work is expected
we have an owner veterinarian who enjoys teaching and mentoring students and would be open to mentoring the motivated new grad or young veterinarian. Our last hire was a new-grad; she would be willing to talk to you about how mentoring worked for her at our hospital
Now for the more boring stuff –
o we are privately owned and operated
o salary is via Pro-Sal (no negative accrual)
o we pay all the things and have all the perks (license renewals, DEA, VIN/AVMA/PVMA memberships, 100% health insurance for FT employees, Simple IRA with 3% match, prof liability coverage, pet care discounts, access to dental/vision coverage, CE allowances, 3 weeks vacation not including sick-time or time off for CE
o What we’re looking for in regards to schedule (varies if you’re looking for part time or full time work): one surgery day from ~7:30 am till about 4 pm; up to three 5 hour appointment blocks (PMs are 1-6pm, AMs are 7-12), one Saturday AM a month from 8-12 noon
If you are intrigued by this opportunity, send us your resume and cover letter, Attn: Stephanie Youtz, Office Manager…
