Summary:

Who we are - Community Medicine:

Have you ever wondered what happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford veterinary care? We did. The ASPCA's Community Medicine (CM) team provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic and preventive care. CM treats people and pets with dignity and respect, assisting pet owners in making informed decisions about their pets' health and wellbeing regardless of their financial circumstances. When you come to work at the ASPCA, you join a team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues with deep knowledge, skills, and passion for the animals we serve.

What You'll Do:

Oversee a fast-paced and dynamic nonprofit Community Veterinary Clinic (CVC). Enjoy a broad range of responsibilities: lead a happy, high-functioning team, ensure patients receive the highest-quality care, and deliver outstanding client experiences to maximize the CVC's impact in the community. Veterinary clinic experience is beneficial but not required, as medical direction is provided by the Medical Director and Nursing Director. If you have a passion for mission-driven work, a desire to serve pets and people, and strong professional leadership experience in a people-centered service industry such as retail, hospitality, or healthcare, this may be the perfect opportunity for you!

What You'll Get:

• Work/life balance: paid vacation time, sick time, ten paid holidays, and paid personal time
• Terrific benefits package: medical, dental, and vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, 401(k) with employer contributions, life and disability insurance, and more
• Room to grow: professional development programs
• Support: a strong team within a major animal welfare organization

Work Schedule and Location:

• Typically Monday – Friday, 8-hour schedule with flexibility for occasional beyond-schedule work
• Primarily on-site at the Community Veterinary Clinic with occasional travel within Greater LA

The target salary range is $115,000-$123,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. Additional details available on our website.
