VetSimple is helping a well-established, after-hours emergency veterinary hospital in the Collingwood/Blue Mountain area find a relief veterinarian to cover a team member's maternity leave, starting [target date] for approximately 12 months.

About the role:

This is a small, tight-knit emergency practice known for its robust reputation and fair, high-quality care. You'll work as the sole veterinarian on shift, supported by a dedicated technician and reception, with backup coverage available. Cases span both medicine and surgery, and you'll be triaging, prioritizing, and managing multiple cases simultaneously during after-hours and overnight coverage.

What you'll be doing:

- Provide solo emergency veterinary care, covering both medical and surgical cases
- Triage and manage multiple concurrent cases with sound clinical judgment
- Work after-hours/overnight shifts as part of a recurring schedule
- Integrate closely with a small, established care team

What we're looking for:

- Active CVO licence in good standing,



with genuine independent emergency/surgical experience (not restricted or under supervision)
- Comfortable working solo in a fast-paced emergency setting
- Strong prioritization and case management skills across concurrent cases
- A collaborative approach, this practice values fit with their existing team as much as clinical skill

What's offered:

- Competitive rate for emergency/specialized coverage
- Travel and accommodation support for the right candidate
- A recurring, reliable ~12-month engagement, not a string of one-off shifts
- The opportunity to work with a respected, established emergency team

Location: Collingwood/Blue Mountain, ON Engagement type: Independent contractor, coordinated through VetSimple

Interested candidates should reach out with their CVO licence number, relevant emergency/surgical experience, and general availability.
