At the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA every day is about second chances. For over 52 years, we have been a cornerstone of animal welfare in our community and with the opening of the Louise R. Lester Spay/Neuter Clinic in the fall of 2021, our impact has grown even stronger. We are seeking an experienced and dedicated Veterinarian to continue to lead that mission by providing veterinary care to our shelter animals. From surgery to wellness care, you will treat the needs of the animals first and foremost. Your work will have an immediate, meaningful and lasting impact.
You will be supported by a collaborative team and equipped with many updated medical resources, including digital radiograph, dental radiograph, human-grade ultrasound, blood analyzer machines, and a fully outfitted dental cart. These tools allow you to provide high-quality care every day to animals in need. We are looking for someone ready to step into a role where they are truly needed, someone who understands that access to veterinary care can change the course of an animal’s and a human's life.
This position offers a starting salary commensurate with experience (minimum $120,000), along with a $20,000 sign-on bonus/relocation stipend and an annual $2,500 CME allowance. A valid DEA license is required along with a current Virginia Veterinary License. Housing is available for the right candidate and will be discussed further upon job offering. Additional benefits include a 4-day week with occasional Saturdays, 15 days of PTO, 6 holidays, and an allowance for health insurance. The need is real, and the impact is immediate. If you are ready to make a difference where it matters most, we encourage you to apply.
