Job Description

Ashby Animal Clinic needs an additional Part-Time Associate Veterinarian to join
the family! We are confident that after learning more about us, you will see
what a fantastic, rewarding opportunity the role can be for your career.

Practice Highlights 

* The clinical team you will join is highly experienced and
ultra-collaborative. 
* Our state-of-the-art hospital is housed within the hospital’s original
structure from 1974, which underwent a complete interior redesign and
expansion in 2013 and another expansion in 2023. It features ample treatment
space, a dedicated surgery suite and dentistry area, six exam rooms and an
impressive list of modern equipment.
* The Ashby Animal Clinic staff prides itself on possessing an upbeat,
drama-free, family-like culture. We love coming to work each day and know you
will too!

"I’ve never met a group of harder-working people who love the medicine, who love
to learn, and who love helping pet owners."

Dr. Tara Bell

About the Opportunity

We are looking to hire an Associate Veterinarian full-time or part-time as an
additional doctor for the Ashby Animal Clinic team. This opening is not due to a
departing DVM; it is due to our steady, continued growth. For the right
applicant who sees Ashby Animal Clinic as their new home and who we see as a
good fit with our team, we will be highly competitive regarding compensation.
The full-time position is eligible for our standard benefits package, all the
details of which we’d be excited to discuss with you!

We pay a guaranteed base salary with a ProSal bonus structure. Salary, based on
experience, ranges from $110,000-$150,000 (plus bonus potential) for full-time. 

"It's a joy to come into work every day, it's like going to my second home."

Winnie Roadcap, CSR/Administrative Assistant

About You

You are a practicing veterinarian, licensed, and in good standing with the State
of Virginia! Additionally, you are committed to practicing high-quality
evidence-based medicine/surgery and could consider yourself a lifetime learner.
If you have specific clinical interests, that is wonderful; we are always
looking to expand the spectrum of services the hospital can offer to its
clients. Surgery not your favorite? There’s room for you here! If you love to
cut, we welcome that, too. You are patient with pet owners, even the crotchety
ones, and generally have a sunny disposition in the exam room and treatment
areas. Our team is very collaborative, so if you naturally like to teach others,
that is excellent too. In terms of your clinical experience, we are flexible:
new grads are welcome as are seasoned veterans of the profession.

About the Team

The staff currently consists of our 4 Veterinarians, 7 Licensed Technicians, 4
Receptionists, and 3 awesome Veterinary Assistants! The team consistently
praises the hard-working, family-like atmosphere in the building. Additionally,
the high percentage of long-term team members ensures continuity and
collaboration that few other practices can offer.

"Ashby practices high-quality medicine. Period. From its earliest days, the
hospital has had a reputation for clinical excellence. That continues today with
the way we practice and through the excellent relationships we have with the
specialists who assist us with the more unique cases we can see."

Dr. Lisa May Moran
