Overview
Are you a DVM? Do you enjoy building relationships and sharing your knowledge? Are you optimistic and upbeat? Do you enjoy working hard to better a profession you love, but value life outside the clinic?
We are growing and we hope you will join us. At Red Barn Animal Hospital our focus is on the experience of the veterinary visit. We structure our doctors’ schedules with longer-than-usual appointment times to allow for whatever the client and patient might need that day, including moving slowly to allow for low-stress handling, full workups, client education, extra tummy rubs, etc.
We offer family-friendly clinic hours and a “flex” period to catch up on whatever you need. The only thing more charming than our small-town communities is our brand new 5,000 ft2 Red Barn.
If you would like to learn more about this amazing opportunity and request a confidential interview to see if you qualify to join our team, please send us your resume today!

Compensation is based on level of experience with production bonuses paid monthly. Benefits include health/dental/vision insurance, 401K with employer match, PTO, paid holidays, CE allowance, license fees, DEA license and employee discounts.
We are looking for a part-time or full-time Associate Veterinarian to join us at Red Barn Animal Hospital, a privately-owned, family-oriented, 2-location, 4-doctor small animal practice in Hampshire and Gilberts, IL. We strive to offer the highest quality of care to our clientele and their beloved pets while valuing the importance of life outside of the office. We offer pleasant working hours with no on-call duties.
A desire to perform surgery is appreciated, but not required. Our communities offer all the benefits of country living with the conveniences of suburbia. It is no wonder our clientele is loyal and kind.
Between the clinics, we offer ultrasound, digital radiography, IDEXX in-house lab equipment, a full dental suite with dental radiography, and surgical and therapeutic lasers.
