Urgent Care OR General Practice Associate Veterinarian

at Gulf Coast Veterinary Emergency Hospital


North Jones Animal Hospital is entering an exciting new chapter, and we’re looking for a passionate and driven veterinarian to help lead the transformation. Our established general practice is being remodeled and reimagined into a modern, high-quality urgent care clinic, and we’re seeking a veterinarian who thrives in a fast-paced, case-diverse environment and wants to be part of building something special from the ground up.

About the Opportunity
This is a unique chance to join a trusted community hospital as it evolves into a dedicated urgent care facility. You’ll play a key role in shaping medical protocols, workflow, and culture while providing timely, compassionate care for non-life-threatening urgent cases. If you enjoy variety, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact, this role offers both professional growth and creative input.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide urgent care services including diagnostics, treatment, and minor procedures

  • Triage incoming cases and collaborate with support staff to ensure efficient patient flow

  • Communicate clearly and empathetically with pet owners during stressful situations

  • Contribute to the development of protocols and standards as we grow into a full urgent care model

  • Help foster a positive, team-oriented environment during this exciting transition

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary with production-based incentives

  • Flexible scheduling designed to support work-life balance

  • Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, CE allowance, PTO, and more)

  • Supportive leadership and a collaborative team culture

  • Opportunity to influence the design and growth of a newly remodeled urgent care facility

  • Easy access to outdoor recreation including parks, lakes, and nearby forests

  • A strong sense of community where relationships matter—both with clients and colleagues

  • Convenient proximity to larger cities like Hattiesburg and Jackson for additional entertainment and travel

What We’re Looking For

  • DVM or equivalent degree with eligibility for Mississippi licensure

  • Strong clinical and diagnostic skills with confidence in urgent care or general practice medicine

  • Ability to work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of care

  • A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for building something new

  • Interest in helping shape the future of a growing urgent care practice

  • Full Time OR Part Time Veterinarian

  • Compassionate, Team Player and Strong Communicator
  • Proficient in general medicine and surgery
  • Doctor of Veterinary degree, or equivalent, from an AVMA accredited university
  • Current DEA License or obtained upon hire
