Small Animal Associate Veterinarian Job, San Martin, California, USA

Small Animal Associate Veterinarian Job, San Martin, California, USA

Job Description: Our client is seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Associate Veterinarian to join a recently renovated small animal practice offering a rewarding combination of preventative medicine, surgical procedures and urgent care. This opportunity welcomes both experienced veterinarians and recent graduates who appreciate a supportive working environment, clinical variety and the freedom to develop their professional interests. The position offers the chance to work alongside established veterinary colleagues in an AAHA-accredited setting where compassionate treatment, thoughtful client communication and collaborative decision-making are central to everyday clinical practice.

The successful candidate will provide comprehensive medical services for dogs and cats, including wellness examinations, diagnostic investigations, dentistry, general surgery and the assessment of urgent or walk-in cases. Contemporary clinical facilities feature digital radiography, diagnostic ultrasound, Cardell monitoring equipment, Doppler blood pressure measurement, oxygen cage facilities and portable multiparameter monitors. Hands-free imaging procedures and Fear Free handling techniques contribute to a comfortable experience for patients, while additional support for more advanced surgical and orthopaedic cases allows veterinarians to manage a broad range of clinical presentations.

This position also presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of future urgent care services while benefiting from dedicated mentorship and experienced clinical colleagues. Flexible full-time and part-time arrangements are available, with rotating weekend commitments and Sundays currently free from scheduled clinical duties. The combination of modern equipment, varied case exposure and opportunities for professional development makes this an attractive position for veterinarians seeking a fulfilling and progressive career.

Package:

  • Opportunity to contribute to the expansion of urgent care services while developing confidence in complex medical presentations.
  • Flexible full-time or part-time working arrangements with rotating Saturday duties and no scheduled Sunday opening hours.
  • Recently refurbished clinical facilities featuring updated ultrasound, digital radiography and comprehensive patient monitoring equipment.
  • Dedicated mentorship for recent graduates, alongside practical guidance from experienced veterinary colleagues.
  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance options with additional healthcare provisions for eligible employees.
  • Exposure to preventative medicine, dentistry, general surgery and urgent care, with additional clinical assistance for advanced orthopaedic cases.
  • Continuing education funding, paid professional development days and access to veterinary learning resources.
  • Employer-matched 401(k) retirement savings contributions supporting long-term financial planning.
  • Paid annual vacation, parental leave and sick leave entitlements, together with opportunities to participate in clinical studies.
  • Discounted veterinary treatment for personal pets, potential performance-related earnings and an AAHA-accredited environment incorporating low-stress patient handling.
