Are You Ready to Join a High-Performing Veterinary Team Where Your Skills Truly Matter?

I’m delighted to be recruiting for an GP Veterinarian to join a well-established, multi-doctor hospital in the vibrant Carbondale area of Southern Illinois. If you’re seeking a role that offers clinical variety, advanced diagnostics, and the support of an experienced team, this opportunity is one you’ll want to explore.

This hospital is recognised as a crucial resource for the region, offering full-service general practice alongside urgent and emergency care. With modern facilities and access to complex cases, you’ll be able to stretch your skills, grow your confidence, and practise high-quality medicine with the equipment you need at your fingertips.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

You’ll have the chance to work with:

  • Advanced imaging including CT, ultrasound, and digital radiography

  • Full in-house laboratories for rapid diagnostics

  • A wide and interesting caseload, thanks to the hospital’s role as the area’s primary urgent and emergency provider

  • A knowledgeable, collaborative veterinary and nursing team who prioritise patient care and professional respect

Carbondale itself offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, community spirit, and convenience—outdoor activities, excellent schools, and a welcoming environment that makes settling in easy.

Who I’m Looking to Connect With

  • A full-time DVM confident in general medicine and surgery

  • Strong communicators with a team-first approach

  • Vets who value autonomy within a supportive structure

  • Experienced clinicians and new graduates alike—excellent mentorship is available

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary

  • Flexible scheduling designed to support work-life balance

  • Full benefits including PTO, health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k)

  • Medical autonomy and access to a strong mentor network

  • Paid CE and membership dues

  • Sign-on bonus, relocation support, and student loan assistance

  • Pet care discounts and a well-resourced clinical environment

If you're ready for a role that offers challenge, support, and room to grow—all within a friendly community—I would love to speak with you.
