WORK-LIFE BALANCE. If this caught your eye, let me tell you more about a hospital that truly believes in this!

Hawks Prairie Veterinary Hospital is located in gorgeous Lacey, Washington.  Yep, the Pacific Northwest! Ocean to the west, mountains to the east, major cities to the north and south.  What’s not to love?  Hawks is a full-service small animal hospital with 6 associates who are looking for that 7th ‘unicorn’ veterinarian—you know the one, who has some experience under their belt, is hard-working but also fun-loving, is compassionate, has a great sense of humor and who plays well with others. Does that sound like you?  Then read on…

We have the usual bells and whistles you’d expect—digital dental X-ray, 2 surgery suites, in-house labs as well as send-out services, ultrasound, radio-surgical unit, medical laser and more.  But it’s what else we offer that sets us apart: we offer a place where you’re working with other vets who are happy to teach, but also happy to learn as well.  Our vets have their special interests, including acupuncture & herbal therapy, advanced surgeries, pocket pet medicine, behavior & ultrasonography.  If you have a specific interest, we’ll help you grow it.  Because when we stop learning, we start stagnating.

And do we have an amazing support staff!  We’re a big hospital (literally, almost 7,000 square feet!) with almost 30 awesome employees to support our doctors.  And we are firm believers in being a teaching hospital.  We believe in teaching at every level, and have staff who have grown within the hospital to become exceptional CSRs, wonderful vet assistants and doctor’s assistants (yes, each vet has their own assistant!), and amazing LVTs!

OK, what else?  Oh, the nitty gritty:  A great hospital manager, benefits that include a base salary + production bonus, medical benefits (health, dental and vision), 401K, an employee assistance program (EAP), a pretty generous CE allowance, plenty of vacation time, coverage of professional dues, liability coverage, pet care discounts, clothing allowance, and so much more.

So take the next step and apply today!  We’d love to tell you more!
