Emergency Veterinarian Opportunity with True Flexibility in Beautiful Coastal Florida

I’m excited to share a fantastic opportunity based in Port Charlotte, Florida — a thriving emergency clinic in a stunning Gulf Coast location, offering genuine work-life balance, a supportive team, and the freedom to shape a schedule that truly works for you.

This role is perfect for an Emergency Veterinarian who wants to join a dedicated, nine-doctor team known for collaboration, strong clinical standards, and a culture built on mutual respect. The clinic operates evenings during the week and 24/7 on weekends and holidays, ensuring a fast-paced environment with plenty of variety. Soft tissue surgical skills are essential, and you’ll have the chance to contribute your own progressive ideas as the practice continues to grow.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

You’ll be joining a team that truly values its people — a group committed to helping one another succeed on both a personal and professional level. The environment is supportive, energetic, and designed to allow clinicians to do their best work. As the only emergency clinic serving the wider area, the caseload is strong, diverse, and rewarding.

Flexibility You Can Count On

The schedule includes 12 shifts per month, and the team actively works with you to create a flexible rota that fits your lifestyle and preferences — something not often found in emergency medicine.

Requirements

  • DVM degree

  • Active (or eligible for) veterinary license in Florida

  • Competence in soft tissue surgery

Benefits

You’ll enjoy a generous and comprehensive benefits package, including:

  • Short-term disability and life insurance at no cost

  • 401K with competitive company match

  • Medical, dental, and vision options

  • Long-term disability and flexible spending options

  • Fertility and family-building support

  • Paid time off covering vacation, sick, personal, and CE

  • CE allowance

  • AVMA PLIT and VIN membership

  • Reimbursement for licences and professional dues

  • Pet care discounts

  • Wellness and mental health programs

  • Access to digital PT and musculoskeletal support programs

Why Port Charlotte?

With over 165 miles of waterways, access to the Gulf of Mexico, beautiful natural shoreline, warm weather, and a relaxed coastal lifestyle, Port Charlotte consistently ranks among Florida’s best places to live. From golf and dining to beaches and outdoor activities, it’s an exceptional place to call home.

If this sounds like the kind of environment you'd thrive in, I’d love to speak with you confidentially and share more.
