If you have a passion for ER, and you're interested in working for a practice that places a priority on the health and harmony of our team and fostering a positive work culture - consider joining Animal ER Care in Colorado Springs, CO. We're an independently owned, AAHA-accredited, VECCS II Certified, 24/7 emergency practice, within a larger specialty hospital. We are opening an additional ER location nearby to help support the large ER caseload in Colorado Springs; this satellite hospital is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2022. Ideal candidates for either location will be internship-trained, enthusiastic, and motivated to support our rapidly growing caseload. Exceptional candidates that did not undergo internship training will also be considered.

Based in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado (http://www.choosecoloradosprings.com), AERC-Main resides within the Veterinary Specialty Center (VSC), a 24-hour small-animal specialty hospital fully equipped with endoscopy, bronchoscopy, digital radiology, multiple surgical suites with ventilators, ultrasound, high-flow oxygen, and CT scan. AERC-Central patients will also be accommodated by these specialty services. AERC maintains state-of-the-art veterinary equipment and laboratory, with blood chemistry, full differential CBC, coagulation profile, blood gas analyzers, and Sedivue urinalysis machine, sevoflurane anesthesia, telemetry and patient monitors (ECG, temperature, capnography, pulse oximetry, oscillometric, and direct arterial blood pressure), and therapeutic laser.  AERC has a diverse caseload, serving over 15,000 emergent / urgent cases annually. AERC's emergency doctors practice progressive medicine, with ready access to VSC's board certified veterinary specialists.

Our full-time schedule consists of 10-13 shifts per month with an average of 36-40 scheduled hours per week. Depending on location, a combination of 8, 10, and 12 hours shifts are offered. Day, swing, and overnight shifts are available, with a shift differential offered for overnight shifts. Our doctors rotate through weekends and holidays, which allows for desired / requested weekend and holiday time off for all doctors throughout the year. We strive to provide balance for our entire team and attempt to accommodate all reasonable schedule requests. 

We offer a very competitive salary (base plus production), complemented by health, dental, and vision coverage options, a 401(k) retirement plan with matching contributions, a generous CE allowance, uniform allowance, professional dues, employee pet discounts, and a balanced schedule to enjoy all that Colorado has to offer. To ensure our associates get a chance to recharge & refresh, we currently provide a 30-day Sabbatical after every 36 consecutive months.
