What you can expect

·       A collegial, team-oriented environment with shared responsibility for urgent cases

·       The opportunity to build long-term relationships with clients and their pets

·       Starting salary of $120,000+ based on experience

·       Health and dental benefits, CE allowance, licensing and VIN membership, professional insurance, Fear Free training, and generous pet care benefits

• No after-hours on-call

Located minutes from beaches, trails, skiing, and golf, the Comox Valley offers an exceptional quality of life, with a growing food, arts, and brewery scene. Our hospital sits directly across from an ocean and river walkway.

Full-time is a minimum of four days per week, including some Saturdays.
