Emergency Veterinarian

We are working on behalf of a well-established, AAHA-accredited specialty and emergency hospital in Raritan, NJ that is looking to welcome an Emergency Veterinarian to its team.

This is a hospital people stay at, with many team members having been there for more than 20 years, and that kind of retention says a lot about the culture. Daytime shifts are the main focus, with swing and overnight shifts also available, plus relief and part-time options for those who want more flexibility. Overnight doctors work on a block schedule, grouping shifts together followed by real time off, so the schedule stays consistent and sustainable rather than fragmented.

You will work alongside experienced emergency veterinarians, board-certified specialists, and credentialed technicians, with close collaboration between the ER and specialty services and strong support from hospital and regional leadership. The hospital is fully equipped for emergency medicine, with digital radiography, ultrasound, a comprehensive in-house lab including blood gas and coagulation testing, canine and feline endoscopy, oxygen cages, and a dedicated emergency surgical suite. If you enjoy the pace, variety, and clinical autonomy of emergency medicine but want to practice it in a collaborative setting that supports your long-term wellbeing, this is well worth a conversation. Signing, retention, and relocation packages of up to $100,000 are available.
