Community Medicine Associate Veterinarian
San Francisco SPCA 4.0
Veterinarian job in San Francisco, CA
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.
Ongoing mentorship and coaching are available at all stages of your career - whether you're developing surgical proficiency, refining your community medicine approach, or exploring leadership opportunities.
We are committed to fear-free, low-stress handling for every patient and a respectful, inclusive experience for every client.
You are:
• Motivated by equity and justice in veterinary care
• Grounded in the belief that the human-animal bond transcends income, race, housing status, or geography
• Committed to providing relationship-centered care, with a focus on practicality, respect, and incremental approaches
• Comfortable in surgery - or ready to build toward performing 25-35 spay/neuter procedures per day in a 2-doctor model
• A team player who values collaboration and community - both within our department and in the city we serve
Benefits include:
On-site gated parking with security (Mission Campus)
Eligibility for our new student debt relief benefit
Generous PTO
CE funds + paid CE time
Low-cost medical, vision, and dental insurance
401K with employer match
Deep discounts on veterinary services and supplies
Bring your dog to work!
About Us:
Founded in 1868, the San Francisco SPCA is one of the Bay Area's most respected and enduring nonprofits. We're known for our innovation, integrity, and commitment to animal and human well-being.
