Job Description Job Description Veterinarian – Create Your Own
Career Path at the ARL The Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) is
expanding our veterinarian team, and we’re looking for a
compassionate, motivated Veterinarian to join our dynamic team.
Whether you’re a new graduate eager to build skills, or a
veterinarian looking to expand your expertise in a unique and
mission-driven environment, the ARL offers a rare opportunity to
shape your own professional journey whether that is working in
surgery, shelter medicine, large animals at the ranch, or in clinic
medicine. What Makes the ARL Different With seven full-time,
experienced veterinarians on staff, you’ll have access to hands-on
mentorship, clinical guidance, and the freedom to explore what
excites you most. Want to sharpen surgical skills? Dive deeper into
shelter medicine? Gain experience with horses, livestock, or other
large animals? You can build a customized career path here shaped
with the opportunity to experience multiple facets of veterinary
medicine. At the ARL Afford-a-Care Pet Clinics, privately owned and
operated by the ARL, patient care is at the center of the work we
do. The ARL does not operate on a productivity or commission-based
model and is looking for veterinarians to join the team who align
with the mission of the work we do in providing affordable and
essential care to pets in our care, whether at one of our shelter
or clinic locations. You’ll also enjoy competitive market driven
compensation and an expansive holiday and time-off policy designed
to support your well-being and work–life balance. You’ll be part of
a mission-driven culture where your work has a meaningful impact on
animals and the community every day. What You Bring We are seeking
candidates with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an
accredited program. Both new graduates and experienced
veterinarians are encouraged to apply. You should bring a desire to
develop professionally and collaborate within a supportive
veterinary team, along with a passion for animal welfare and a
commitment to high-quality care. If you’re ready to further develop
a career that’s both professionally rewarding and deeply impactful,
we’d love to meet you. Employment in this position is at-will,
meaning that either the employee or the ARL may terminate the
employment relationship at any time. In compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act and/or applicable state
regulations, the Animal Rescue League will provide reasonable
accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities and
encourages prospective employees and incumbents to discuss
potential accommodations. Opportunities Monday through Saturday
depending on area of work interest.
