Associate Veterinarian

About the Role

Anderson Veterinary Clinic is recruiting an Associate Veterinarian to join their team in stunning Penticton, BC. If you're drawn to a practice where the team genuinely supports one another — where someone's always happy to lend a hand in surgery or champion a better way of doing things — this could be your next home. The clinic's new, purpose-built hospital reflects a philosophy centred on veterinarian wellbeing and mental health, with a strong support team backing you up every day.

You'll work with primarily small animals, with opportunities to pursue exotics if that appeals to you. The role blends surgery, dentistry, and appointments, and the practice welcomes veterinarians who bring fresh ideas and aren't afraid to try new approaches. Beyond the work itself, Penticton offers year-round Okanagan living: pristine beaches and lakes, world-class wineries, excellent hiking, and skiing — all within easy reach.

• Collaborative mindset and willingness to contribute ideas

Benefits
