About us: Our primary focus is on prevention and education, offering individually tailored care to our patients and their families. We also own five other hospitals within HRM, so we have a large network of DVMs and team members who work together to collaborate, share experiences, generate ideas and support one another whenever needed. We have a formal onboarding/training process as well as regular upskilling sessions, internal wet labs and 1:1 surgical training as needed (ex. large dog spays, dental wetlabs, etc). Because of our diverse and supportive team, new veterinarians are welcome to apply and will be supported in their early career growth.
Our brand-new hospital will be fully equipped with anything you need to provide excellent medical care. Digital everything, full lab equipment, all monitoring and safety equipment, paperless record keeping, references and support materials. What you think a great veterinary hospital should have, we have (and if we don’t and you need it – we will get it). Plus, our hospital will be feline friendly, have a spacious footprint, 6 exam rooms, multiple surgical/procedures suites, separate cat and dog wards and lots of extra space that makes working just that little bit easier when you have room to move!
At our hospital, we strive to provide customer service we are proud of and treat our clients like family. Our business is an active member of the communities we serve and we work as partners with our clients to provide the best quality care for their pets.
We are very open to hearing from anyone who believes their personality and skills would be a great addition to our group. We are open to creating a diverse team. Nothing is more important than having a positive work environment and a cohesive team. We work on culture and workplace happiness every single day.
If you would like to meet to discuss this opportunity, please contact us by email at [email protected] or [email protected] . We look forward to hearing from you! We look forward to hearing from you.
