Job Description
- Flexible Schedule
- Monday-Friday Only
- No Weekends
- 5 Weeks PTOYou became a veterinarian to practice medicine—not to chase callbacks, manage endless task lists, or spend your evenings finishing paperwork that wasn't yours to begin with.
If you've been searching for the balance everyone talks about but nobody seems to actually offer—you just found it.
Job DescriptionThree Hospitals. One Culture. One Standard of Care.
As our Internal Relief Veterinarian, you'll travel between three sister hospitals in southeastern New Hampshire—covering for doctors on vacation or leave, stepping in seamlessly, and bringing your best every time you walk through the door.
Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital — Windham, NH | 2024 AAHA Practice of the YearAll Pets Veterinary Hospital — Nashua, NHGreenland Veterinary Hospital — Greenland, NHAll three hospitals are AAHA-accredited, busy, and fully equipped. Each runs on the same culture—Conscious Care®—our owner's trademarked program built around compassion for self, team, clients, patients, and community. You won't feel like a stranger walking in. You'll feel like you belong.
What Makes This Role UniqueRelief veterinarians at most practices still carry the full weight—the callbacks, the follow-up lists, the administrative details that were never really yours. That's not how we do it.
Here, you are a doctor. Full stop.
You see appointments, perform exams, make diagnostic and treatment plans, and do surgery and dentals (don't like surgery and dentals, no problem)Client follow-up and administrative detail stay with the permanent team—not youYour task list is lean by design, so your headspace stays on medicineA personal assistant supports your appointments—checking in and checking out clients and monitoring your flow throughout the dayWe stay on schedule so you walk out on time, every shiftYou are not expected to cover every vacancy—you have ample room in your schedule for the time off you've earned
QualificationsYour Schedule:
Flexible by DesignYour schedule will shift depending on where coverage is needed—but it will always work within your life, not against it. We're open Monday through Friday only. No weekends. No on-call. No emergencies pulling you in on your days off.What you can count on:
Monday-Friday only, no weekend shifts everYou are not obligated to fill every open shift—your time off is protected5 weeks of PTO annually30 hours of CE per year, covered$2,500 CE allowance to invest in your continued growthHospital closes 2 hrs/week for rounds and training—you're always in the loop, never out of itWhat Relief Actually Looks Like HereWe know what bad relief work feels like. You show up to chaos. Nobody knows you're coming. The team is frazzled, the systems are unclear, and you spend half the day figuring out where things are instead of practicing medicine.
That is not what you'll find here. Our hospitals are well-run, team-driven, and deeply collaborative. When you arrive, the staff knows who you are, what you need, and how to support you. You'll be welcomed—not just tolerated.
Each hospital is powered by three integrated teams—the Customer Experience Team (CET), Technicians (TT), and Veterinary Assistants (VA)—all working in sync to make sure every appointment runs smoothly and every patient gets top-notch care. You step in, you do the medicine, and the team handles the rest.
