We are recruiting on behalf of a well-regarded, privately owned urgent care veterinary practice in Cumberland County that is launching a brand-new urgent care service and is looking for a dependable Urgent Care Relief Veterinarian to join during this exciting stage of growth. This purpose-built urgent care service has been intentionally designed to support quality medicine and sustainable workflows, meaning you will be joining a well-organized program from the very beginning rather than stepping into an already-stretched schedule. With the service actively growing, the practice has an ongoing need for a skilled urgent care vet who can commit to consistent, scheduled shifts. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants the autonomy of urgent care work with structured hours and predictable scheduling, rather than the unpredictability of one-off bookings. You will work set shifts throughout the assignment, allowing you to build familiarity with the team, systems, and caseload while helping shape workflows and protocols as the service develops. The role will involve a varied urgent (non-critical) caseload, including illness, injury, diagnostics, and minor procedures. You will work alongside a trained and engaged support team, with the option to collaborate on cases requiring transfer to referring vets or specialty hospitals. There is genuine scope to bring your own clinical insight into shaping patient care standards as the program grows.
