Associate DVM (Part-Time Casual)

About the Role

Juno Veterinary is building something intentional in Burlington—a practice built on the belief that veterinary professionals deserve to thrive alongside their patients. This part-time casual role (typically up to 10 hours per week, with additional hours available for vacation coverage) is your chance to be part of that mission while maintaining flexibility in your schedule.

You'll work primarily with your own patient roster—appointments, procedures, lab interpretation, medication prescribing, and follow-ups. When the primary veterinarian isn't in clinic, you'll support their continuity of care. Beyond the clinical work, you'll help shape clinic culture by coaching less experienced team members, actively participating in quality-improvement meetings, and building strong relationships with both clients and staff. Schedule flexibility is essential, including occasional evening and weekend availability.

This is small animal medicine at its best: you'll use your full skillset in medicine, surgery, and dentistry while working alongside a collaborative team that practices gold-standard care. The Juno Standard of Care isn't just a slogan—it's how they work every day, with genuine compassion for pets, clear communication with clients, and mutual support among the team.
