Associate Veterinarian

We are working on behalf of an independently owned, full service small animal clinic in Charlotte, NC that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team.

This is a genuinely integrative practice. Alongside conventional general practice work, the clinic has built its reputation on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, homeopathy, and acupuncture, and demand for that side of the caseload is now outpacing what one doctor can cover. The owner is looking for someone to share the work and help the clinic say yes to more of it. The facility is well set up for the job, with five exam rooms, a dedicated surgical suite, digital radiography, a lift scale, and small boarding and drop off space, supported by two experienced technicians, two receptionists, and an on site chiropractor.

Hours are Monday to Thursday, 9 to 5, with a half day on Friday, and there are no weekends, no on call, and no emergency shifts. The role can be built as part time or full time depending on what suits you, and the owner is genuinely flexible on which days you work. You will have clinical autonomy and a client base that is invested in preventive care and willing to follow a longer term plan for their animals.

Formal certification in acupuncture or integrative medicine is not required. What matters far more is curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to learn alongside a doctor who has been practicing this way for over a decade. For the right person, there may also be scope to talk about a longer term pathway within the practice.
