Benefits:

45-year family-owned and operated business that proudly offers fully paid medical benefits to employees and their families. In addition to a 401k & profit share plan, employees have access to a flexible spending account, dental & vision insurance, as well as short-term and long-term disability. We provide paid holidays, generous vacation/sick time policies, relocation, and fully cover continuing education requirements and licenses.

This is a unique and one-of-a-kind position! Along with great medical benefits, we also offer on-site housing, free for one year! This would be a great opportunity for someone looking to get out of NYC or Philly as this area is quite rural, but still 2-3 hours driving distance away. Lots of opportunities in the area to own acreage for horses or other animals. Our land has 3 homes on it that can house our veterinarian and their family for a year while they get their bearings.

This is a beautiful area and you will have a very flexible schedule so that you maintain a true work/life balance.
