What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinarian position at IndeVets?
It’s not relief work. It’s a whole new way to work!
Insane hours, office politics, and little-to-no support have been the status quo for far too long. So, IndeVets set out to create a totally new way to practice. Everything we do is to make the industry better for veterinarians like you. Because we are veterinarians like you.
This is no ordinary vet job. We took what makes associate work reliable and combined it with what makes relief work flexible. That means you’ll get proper pay for all the hours you work, full benefits, and control of your schedule — with a team dedicated to your happiness and growth every step of the way.
Here’s how it works:
Choose when, where, and how you work.
- Don’t let practice managers dictate your shifts. As an IndeVet, you’ll decide exactly when you work. That means you’ll never have to work another weekend again (unless you want to!). You set your own schedule and choose shifts from our thousands of partner hospitals. You decide when you work, and when you don't.
2. Never feel stuck at a bad clinic again. With thousands of fantastic hospital partners, you’ll have plenty to choose from (usually within a 45-minute drive). Feel free to jump around or stick with a couple of spots. It’s totally up to you.
3. We’re all about you doing the type of work you love. Choose from GP exam shifts, ER, urgent care, dentistry, or surgery. Mix and match or choose your fave. It’s totally okay to be picky, and it’s also okay to try new things. We’re here for it all.
Thrive as a vet.
Every IndeVet has her own Area Medical Director (AMD). Think of them like your wing-person. They’re your advocate who can speak to clinics on your behalf, lend support after hard days, and give high fives after great ones.
You’ll be amazed by what your fellow IndeVets can teach you. We have vets in-residence at leading institutions, and vets with backgrounds in acupuncture, rehab medicine, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, palliative care, and more.
We partner with all different types of hospitals, from corporate groups and private practices to spay & neuter clinics and shelters. Most IndeVets work across many hospitals to experience different kinds of cases, develop new techniques, and grow as a vet.
Your time is valuable. Get paid for all of it.
As an IndeVet, you’ll be paid hourly. We believe hourly compensation is the best way to offer a high standard of care, while also making sure you’re always paid for any additional time you work. It’s the fairest, least stressful way of working.
Full time at IndeVets starts at just 34 hours per week and our FT Associate IndeVets start out with a base that’s over six figures before taking shifts that offer additional compensation.
All of the benefits, none of the burnout.
You'll be part of the ever-growing IndeVets team. This is no traditional relief gig. When you become an IndeVet, you're a W2 employee with full benefits.
