Community Medicine Associate Veterinarian
San Francisco, CA jobs
Full-time Description
Join a team at the intersection of exceptional veterinary care and social change.
At the San Francisco SPCA, we believe that all families - regardless of their circumstances - deserve access to high-quality, compassionate veterinary care. Our Community Medicine programs are grounded in the understanding that systemic barriers, not individual shortcomings, are what limit access to care. We take a whole-family approach, honoring the bond between people and their pets while meeting them where they are.
We deliver this care through three key programs: our Community Veterinary Clinic (CVC), our High-Quality High-Volume Spay/Neuter (HQHVSN) Clinic, and our Mobile Vaccine Clinics (MVC), which help connect families to ongoing support. This position will primarily serve in our Spay/Neuter and Community Veterinary Clinics, where you'll join a diverse, values-driven team that shares knowledge freely, works collaboratively, and shows up with heart for one another and the community.
We're looking for a veterinarian who is passionate about relationship-centered care, excited to contribute their skills, and eager to grow as part of a connected team serving San Francisco and beyond.
What you can expect:
While based in San Francisco, our vision reaches far and wide - we aim to impact 5 million companion animals across California in the next ten years through direct care, training, and advocacy.
Our work centers on care, not profit. Salaries are competitive and not tied to production - there's no negative accrual here.
Compensation ranges from $150K for new grads to $225K+ for experienced DVMs, plus signing bonuses, CE and licensing support, and relocation assistance if applicable.
You'll work within a supportive and skill-diverse team structure that values collaboration and shared responsibility - not hierarchy. Everyone contributes to creating exceptional patient and client experiences.
Our DVMs work a consistent 4x10 schedule, giving you three full days to rest, explore, and recharge in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area.
