Job Description

Company Description

Lakes on one side. Smoky Mountains on the other. A great practice in the middle.

Moyers Veterinary Hospital is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team in Morristown, Tennessee, a friendly East Tennessee city tucked between two lakes and a short drive from Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you want an established, well-loved practice and a place where weekends feel like a getaway, we'd love to meet you.

About the Role

Join a respected small animal hospital known in the community for friendly, knowledgeable care and a loyal client base.

Full- or Part-time Schedule Available

  • Weekday hospital hours (Monday through Friday) with weekends off, so your Saturdays belong to the lake
  • Competitive salary + production, relocation assistance, and a full benefits package
  • Well-equipped hospital, including digital radiology, ultrasound, a surgical laser, and dental services
  • A team that treats clients and patients like family, and each other too
  • Room to practice quality medicine the way you want to

Why Morristown?

This is a town that works hard to give people reasons to be outside.

Cherokee Lake is a bass angler's dream. It's regularly ranked among the best bass-fishing lakes in the Southeast, with roughly 400 miles of shoreline for boating, paddling, swimming, and camping. Striper fishing is big here too.

Panther Creek State Park covers more than 1,400 acres on the lake, with 30+ miles of hiking trails, 15+ miles of mountain biking, horseback trails, and a lookout at Point Lookout with views over the lake and the Cumberland Mountains.

Tennessee's Disc Golf Capital®. Morristown has four championship-caliber courses, so if you throw discs, you're going to be very happy.

The Smokies are a short drive away. Morristown sits between Cherokee and Douglas Lakes, close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the country, so a weekend hike or a Gatlinburg day trip is easy.

A historic downtown with a quirky twist. After a major flood in 1962, downtown Morristown was rebuilt with a unique "overhead sidewalk" of elevated walkways connecting second-floor businesses. The district is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Real small-town events. Downtown Green hosts the First Fridays concert series from May through October, plus the Farmers Market, Arts in the Park, and the International Food Festival.

Craft beer, local food, and the arts. Grab a pint at 1907 Brewing Company in a revitalized historic downtown building, browse the Rose Center for the Arts in a Victorian schoolhouse, or pick up lunch downtown.

Davy Crockett history. The Crockett Tavern Museum sits on the site of the frontiersman's boyhood home.

Endurance and adventure events. Panther Creek hosts mountain bike races, trail runs, and a triathlon, if you like a little suffering with your scenery.

Close to Knoxville. The bigger-city restaurants, sports, and airport are roughly 45 minutes away, while home stays quiet and affordable.
