Could This Be the Veterinary Role That Truly Elevates Your Career?
I’m excited to share an exceptional opportunity for a Full-Time Associate Veterinarian in the charming community of Chatham, Illinois—a role that offers unmatched balance, genuine collaboration, and the chance to practice high-quality medicine without weekend work.
Located just minutes from Springfield, this area offers all the convenience of a city—rich history, museums, restaurants, shopping—while maintaining the comfort and ease of a close-knit village. It’s an ideal setting for a veterinarian who wants both professional fulfillment and a lifestyle with room to breathe.
About the Role
In this position, you’ll join a practice known for its high medical standards, strong communication, and remarkable team longevity—including decades of combined technician experience and multiple certified techs. The focus here is on working together toward shared goals while giving pets and clients the thoughtful, personalized care they deserve.
You’ll have access to exceptional diagnostic capabilities—including echocardiography and advanced ultrasound interpreted by a Board-Certified Radiologist—as well as rehabilitation services, ideal for supporting senior pets, post-operative care, and weight management cases. It’s a setting where your clinical interests can truly flourish.
And one of the most appealing features: No weekends. Ever.
A rare benefit in veterinary medicine and an incredible boost to work-life balance.
Who I’m Looking For
-
A veterinarian with a DVM/VMD degree
-
A state license in good standing (or eligibility)
-
An active or eligible DEA license
-
Someone who values teamwork, excellent communication, and compassionate care
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role offers an impressive combination of flexibility, support, and personal growth. You can expect:
-
A competitive compensation package, typically $110,000–$150,000, tailored to your experience
-
$50,000 hiring bonus and $10,000 relocation assistance
-
No weekend shifts, supporting long-term wellbeing
-
Generous paid time off, including fully paid parental leave
-
Pet perks, including free exams and product/service discounts
-
Subsidized backup care for children, adults, and pets
-
Mental health support, including coaching and therapy
-
Robust CE opportunities, including paid time and access to advanced courses
-
Ongoing mentorship programs designed to help you grow with confidence at every stage of your career
This role offers everything a veterinarian needs to thrive—strong support, advanced medical tools, and the time and space to enjoy life outside the clinic.
