Job Description:

Relief work, reimagined.

We’re IndeVets. We’ve created a whole new way to vet that combines the freedom of relief work with the stability of an associate position, plus an entire vet-led team dedicated to helping vets thrive.

Here’s how it works.

Enjoy the freedom you want:

Decide when and where you vet. Set your own schedule and choose shifts from our hundreds of partner hospitals. You decide when you work, and when you don’t. For planners, hatch your work plan months in advance. Did we mention full-time starts at just 34 hours per week?

Leave work at work. Never take an after-hours call again. Your free time is me time. In case you’re wondering, you don’t need to ask permission to take vacation either.

Try new things and find your happy places. Explore new medicine and clinical techniques. Choose from a variety of shift types, including GP, surgery, dentals, ER, and more.

Get the stability and benefits you need (and some you want):

You’re part of the team. This is no traditional relief gig. When you become an IndeVet, you’re a W2 employee with benefits, not a contractor.

Work with great hospitals! We only partner with the best. Plus, you’ll review their clinical policies, available meds, and ways of working before your first shift.

Awesome benefits: all the basics, plus more. See below!

Thrive as a vet:

We’ve got your back: We support our doctors 100% because we’re also practicing veterinarians. So whether you need to call out sick or are ready to start a family, we’ve got you covered. No judgment, just support.

Learn and grow. Share SOAPs, rad, x-rays, and more for a second opinion. Our team is connected virtually and shares advice in real-time.

Change the industry with us. We know how you feel and what needs fixing because we’re led by vets. We’ve been there and done that… and that’s why we’re doing this.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our doctors had to say: https://indevets.com/veterinarians/#videos

DEI Info:

• DEI is a priority with Tufts University and Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. The university is actively working to become an anti-racist institution. The Associate Dean for Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Climate (ADDI) was established at Cummings School and is charged with leading a strategic plan focused on DEI initiatives.

• Cummings School has an active Tufts Veterinary Council on Diversity (TVCD) which includes student, faculty, and staff leadership. TVCD provides educational opportunities for our campus to learn about different aspects of DEI and works in conjunction with the ADDI to focus on the development of inclusive and equitable policies and procedures.
• We have recently rewritten our faculty hiring practices in order to focus a lens on the candidate’s DEI knowledge, experience, and intentions if hired.
• All decision-making bodies including faculty search committees are required to go through implicit bias training. and are encouraged to develop a standard rubric for candidate assessment.
• The ADDI is working with the admissions staff and committee in order to examine the student selection process for areas of potential bias.
• We have established specific scholarships for those who are under-represented in veterinary medicine.
• The senior leadership team is comprised of 4 department chairs, the hospital director, 4 associate deans, and the dean. Of these 10 individuals, 5 are men and 5 are women. The ADDI (who is Asian American) is the only person of color on this team.
