Job Description

Here’s where you come in: as a veterinarian at Truss Vet, you’re more than a doctor. You’re a clinical and cultural leader who sets the tone for patient care, client experience, and team well-being. You’ll:

  • Practice the highest standards of medicine while embracing a growth mindset.
  • Foster a collaborative, fun, work-hard/play-hard team environment.
  • Exceed client expectations with empathy, professionalism, and a touch of humanity.
  • Help shape the culture and care standards of a clinic that’s quickly becoming a standout in the industry.

We’re a young organization, which means there’s tons of room to innovate, build, and leave your mark. Whether you’re looking for the thrill of startup energy or the stability of a growing organization, Truss Vet offers both. You’ll be joining a team that’s passionate, supportive, and determined to make a difference for pets, their people, and each other.

So, what do you think? Are you ready to be part of the next chapter of Truss Vet’s journey?

You’re a Great Fit If

Someone would describe you as proactive, detail-oriented, timely, organized, productive, analytical... and still a people person! Bonus points if you can move things with your mind!

You have a growth mindset; you never stop learning, and you’re constantly looking for ways to advance yourself, your career, and your team

You want to work for a company that has a big vision and ambitious plans for growth, and you want to be a part of helping achieve that growth

You want to make a difference in the world, have an impact on people’s lives, and change the future of animal healthcare for the better

You love working in teams and find that you’re able to relate to people of all types (yes, people are gross, but you didn’t choose vet med because you love animals and hate people)

  • You’re willing to “get your hands dirty;” no task is beneath you, you’re entrepreneurial and a servant leader
  • You provide energy to the people you’re around because you’re generally a happy, positive, optimistic person (after interacting with you, people feel energized vs. drained)
  • You are licensed or eligible for veterinary licensure in the state of Georgia
  • You have 1+ years in-practice experience (ER experience preferred)
  • You read our core values (below) and they overlap with your personal values

We Believe In

  • Excellence in medicine and the highest reasonable standards of care
  • Providing our teams the resources to be happy and successful
  • That every pet deserves to live its best life (Except for that one chihuahua... jk)
  • 3-day workweeks
  • Going home on time

No Abusive Noncompetes

  • Building a supportive team that you want to hang out with even on your off days (but we’ll never make you)
  • Treating people like we want to be treated
  • Compensation and benefits that help people live well
  • Working hard and pursuing excellence while still having fun

A Little Bit About Our Clinic

For too long, veterinary hospitals have been off the beaten path, sequestered to old strip centers, or simply too hard to find. Pets have become family members, so why shouldn't veterinary clinics be located where family members shop, work, and dine? And why shouldn't veterinary teams get to work in beautiful, safe, and vibrant locations?

We’re outfitting the facility with brand new, industry-leading equipment (IDEXX CBC/chemistry, automated fecal/UA, digital cytology, and on-site enzyme analysis), IDEXX digital radiography, ultrasound, fully cloud-based and mobile technology solutions, and a modern aesthetic reflective of today’s best healthcare environments

Our Fear-Free clinic will include a command center, dedicated feline exam room, comfort room, respite/breastfeeding room, staff break room, radiology suite, and a spacious treatment area

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary, no negative accrual
  • Health/vision/dental insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability coverage, life insurance
  • 3 weeks PTO plus 5 holidays for full-time doctors
  • A generous CE stipend with guaranteed coverage for 1 major conference per year
  • Parental leave
  • 401K + match
  • Payment of all professional dues/licenses/association memberships/VIN/PLIT
  • Commitment to professional and personal development through mentorship
  • Pet care discounts and uniform allowance
  • No boarding, grooming, or on-call!

Truss Vet Core Values Statements

Dare to Care: Doing what is easy isn’t always right. Doing what is right isn’t always easy. So we show up. We give a sh! t. Even when clients don’t deserve our best, even when a conversation is uncomfortable, we approach situations with courage, empathy, and authenticity. “We care enough to have tough conversations and we handle tough conversations with care.”

The Details Matter: Our standards are reflected in every detail, and those details matter. The client will never forget the hug you gave when they said goodbye to their best friend. That blanket may mean the difference between an hour of comfort for a pet versus an hour of fear. The smell or site of a dirty rug may mean the difference between a great first impression versus skepticism of our entire team.

Truss One Another: To be accountable to the success of the team means we’re accountable to the success of each other. We have our teammates’ backs. We catch each other's’ mistakes. We challenge each other to improve and be the best versions of ourselves.

Bowl Half Full: Your dog doesn’t go through life believing his bowl is half-empty. We see the good in others and in each other, we see opportunities in challenges, we meet discomfort with good humor, and when we find closed doors, we kick them open or make new ones.

Sound like your kind of place? Join a team that’s passionate, positive, and committed to shaping the future of veterinary medicine for pets, their people, and each other.
