Associate Veterinarian
Colchester, CT
Looking for a place where you can build lasting client relationships and get your adrenaline fix with urgent care cases? Colchester Veterinary Hospital has you covered. We’re a busy, full-service practice in beautiful Colchester, CT, and we’re ready to welcome our next veterinarian to the team.
Here’s what you’ll love about working here:
- The Team: You won’t be flying solo. You’ll have the support of 9 experienced veterinarians plus a board-certified surgeon who makes complex procedures look easy.
- The Balance: Wellness visits, urgent care, surgery—you’ll get variety without losing your mind to chaos.
- The Mentorship: Whether you’re new to practice or just want to sharpen certain skills, we’ve got structured mentorship and plenty of colleagues who actually like sharing their knowledge.
- The Location: When you’re off the clock, you’ve got everything from hiking at Day Pond State Park to kayaking on Lake Hayward to wineries, movie nights, family fun at the RecPlex, and, of course, frozen custard at Scotties. (Yes, you can bring us back some.)
What you’ll do here:
- Provide high-quality care using the latest tools and tech.
- Build strong, lasting relationships with our clients (and their furry, feathery, or scaly family members).
- Keep things collaborative—our team works best when everyone’s in it together.
- Stay organized with accurate records and treatment plans (SOAP notes, anyone?).
- Help us keep up the positive, supportive vibe our clients and team rave about.
What we’re looking for:
- A DVM (or soon-to-be) with a Connecticut license in good standing.
- Someone who wants to contribute to a team-driven culture (bonus points if you like swapping funny pet stories during coffee breaks).
The Perks (because you deserve them):
- Competitive pay and a benefits package stacked with the good stuff—medical, dental, vision, 401k with match, life insurance, CE support, professional dues covered, VIN access, and more.
- PTO that actually lets you enjoy all those Colchester adventures.
- Employee pet care discounts (because your pets deserve the best too).
- Access to wellness programs, family-building support, and daily pay if you want it.
- A workplace where your growth, your voice, and yes, your sense of humor, matter.
If you’re ready for a hospital where you can grow your skills, enjoy your work, and still have a life outside of it—let’s talk. Colchester Veterinary Hospital could be your next (and best) move.
