About the role
Seeking Veterinarians: Help Drive Our Expansion & Rediscover the Heart of Veterinary Medicine Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful connection with the clients you serve? Are you feeling burnt out by the relentless hustle, packed schedules, and production-line feel of traditional clinical practice? Caring Pathways is growing, and we are looking for true go-getters to help lead the way. As a veterinarian on our team, you will play a pivotal role in bringing compassionate, gentle end-of-life care directly into families' homes providing pets with peace and dignity in their most familiar surroundings. Because all our doctors are 100% mobile, you get out into the community where you can make a real impact every single day. At Caring Pathways, we believe that the final chapter of a pet's life deserves the highest level of dignity, and that the veterinarians who provide this care deserve a supportive, nurturing, and empowering environment. We give our doctors the time, autonomy, and resources to deliver excellent end-of-life medical care while building authentic connections with families, all while helping us expand our reach to serve even more pets in need. Why Choose Caring Pathways? Be a Catalyst for GrowthThis isn't just another clinical opening, it's an opportunity to help expand our footprint. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, a strong drive to succeed, and a passion for elevated care, you'll thrive here as we open new doors and serve new communities. A True Family Culture Unlike large, corporate-owned providers where you can easily become just a number on a spreadsheet, Caring Pathways is proudly privately owned. We maintain a genuine "family feel," where your voice is heard, your well-being matters, and your ambition is actively supported by leadership. Unmatched Support & Mentoring Our industry-leading training and dedicated mentoring processes ensure you succeed from day one, even if you have limited prior experience in veterinary hospice, palliative care, or in-home euthanasia. Autonomy as a Mobile DoctorAll of our veterinarians are fully mobile, offering an incredible degree of independence and flexibility. Despite the autonomous nature of the role, you won't be doing it alone! You are backed by a highly trained client care team, veterinary technician support, and a collaborative network of peer doctors. Boundless Opportunities to Advance We love self-starters. Beyond clinical practice, we offer pathways to grow into business management, team training, clinical research, community outreach and expansion leadership. Always On for Our Clients We are a 365-day-a-year service, ensuring families have support when they need it most. To maintain balance and fairness for everyone, all team members share weekend and holiday duties on an equitable rotation.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
