Description
Associate Veterinarian (FT or PT) for a progressive & fun-loving team in Springfield, IL
Laketown Animal Hospital is looking to add a full time (will consider part time) associate veterinarian to our growing, six-doctor, AAHA accredited, privately owned (no corporate affiliation), small animal practice. Voted Best Vet Clinic in the Springfield area for the last eight years!
We are looking for someone who is hardworking, motivated, and who wants to practice excellent medicine as part of a team. Experienced veterinarians or new grads are welcome. We offer mentorship for new grads, including consultation on cases, assistance/guidance in surgery, and an introduction of the new team member to clients to help them build their own client base.
Our doctors work as a team, routinely consulting with each other about cases; this wouldn’t be possible without our outstanding support staff. Each doctor has a dedicated technician/assistant for their entire shift, and there are several additional CVTs and assistants to help where needed so you can maximize your time actually practicing medicine. We provide a supportive environment to allow our vets to practice in all areas of clinical medicine and surgery. Pursuing additional training in an area of interest which aligns with the practice is encouraged.
Benefits include:
- Competitive guaranteed base salary with production bonuses paid out quarterly (23% & no negative accrual). Full time salary $120,000+ depending on experience
- Paid health insurance (100% paid, currently BCBS of IL)
- 401K with up to a 4% employer match
- Optional vision and dental insurance
- Paid life insurance ($125K) and accidental death and dismemberment policy

- Paid vacation and sick time
- Paid bereavement time
- 4 days/$2500 continuing education stipend per year
- Lab coat/scrubs allowance each year
- No after hours/weekend/holiday emergencies. (There is a 24 hour emergency clinic in town.)
- Flexible scheduling, so we can work with you to tailor your schedule to meet your work/life balance needs.

Springfield, the capital of Illinois, is a big city with a small-town feel, located an hour and a half from St. Louis and 3 hours from Chicago. Springfield is the home to three universities, an airport, a medical school, and two hospitals. Springfield and the surrounding communities have a cost of living that is less than the national average with top-rated schools and a stable job market due to the large number of jobs in government and healthcare.
