Associate Veterinarian

Bowen Veterinary Services

Job Description

Love veterinary medicine, but want more balance? This could be the perfect fit. Bowen Veterinary Services is seeking a part-time Associate Veterinarian to join our team on beautiful Bowen Island, BC, just a 20-minute ferry ride from Vancouver’s Horseshoe Bay.


Our recently renovated clinic offers a welcoming, relaxing environment. We are well-equipped with three exam rooms, a surgical suite, a dedicated dental suite, Companion laser, ultrasound and more. We value strong client relationships, mental well-being, and true work-life balance.


This role offers flexibility with an ideal three-day workweek and no weekends, on-call, or after-hours shifts. You’ll have the option to tailor your caseload, whether you prefer appointments only or want to include surgery and dentistry. Our experienced support team is here to help you thrive, and if you have a special interest, such as acupuncture or another area of care, we’d love to support you in exploring it. We also embrace Fear Free practice and will cover the cost of certification.


Bowen Island offers the best of both worlds—the peace and natural beauty of island life with easy access to Vancouver. Compensation includes a salary of $80 to $90 per hour, depending on experience, plus health and dental benefits, RRSP matching, paid vacation, CE and more. To learn more about us, visit bowenvet.com.
