Roadrunner Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital is the only veterinary facility continually open 24/7 every day. We are a progressive, employee-centered practice. We are locally owned by a single owner, not a large national corporation with no hidden corporate backing. We focus on practicing great medicine, meeting the needs of our community and keeping smart, hard-working employees long term. Our goal is to have 2-3 vets on the floor at all times, 24 hours a day, to ensure we are providing optimal care to both hospitalized pets and outpatients and to ensure that vets are getting off work promptly when their shift ends.
Located 25 minutes from the heart of Albuquerque, 30 minutes from Santa Fe and 15-20 minutes from Rio Rancho, you can live in any of these cities and have a reasonable commute to work. Our hospital will be moving into a new, 14,000 sq ft facility in late 2024.
Our team’s mission and values set the bar high and, in return, we have much more to
offer than many practices who mention the same competitive wage, positive work
environment and various benefits. We offer those too but we’ve moved beyond the
basics and offer a pay and benefit package that reflect the time and expertise
required to obtain our DVM/VMD and to make this a sustainable, rewarding career
long-term.
We want to be transparent about our salary and benefits upfront so you can see if
this position is a good fit for you. Base salary for an experienced overnight veterinarian is $190,000-$260,000 with 25% production and no negative accrual. We expect most of our full-time overnight veterinarians to be making about $380,000/year after production. We offer a $50,000 signing bonus for veterinarians willing to work overnight shifts. We are currently fully staffed with one ER vet every night but we're adding a second vet per night due to our case load and to ensure good quality of life and the ability to meet the needs of the community, and to help our vets get out the door on time.
Full-time is considered to be 3 shifts per week alternating with 2 shifts per week the next week. We pay 100% of the health insurance premium for all full time employees and also offer a dental and vision plan that employees can participate in for a nominal monthly amount. We offer 8 days of paid time off (base salary plus average production over the previous quarter is paid during vacation days). All clinic staff, not just vets, receive paid CE
opportunities. Veterinarians receive up to $3000/year for continuing ed and 2
additional days of paid time off for CE. We have a matching 401K retirement plan.
We offer 6 weeks of paid maternity/parental leave after one year of employment.
Education is the key to personal and professional advancement and we offer an
annual tuition stipend for staff pursuing educational opportunities that are
applicable to the field of veterinary medicine. We offer a relocation stipend for
veterinarians joining us from out of state. Additional benefits include payment of
professional dues and licenses and a generous discount for medical care and
boarding of personal pets. Group fitness/strength classes are an additional fun perk.
Our clients are expected to be respectful and kind. We value kindness, honesty and
respect from clients and team members alike. Going to work shouldn’t be something
you dread.
The full-time schedule of an average of 10 shifts per month allows for time to experience all
our area has to offer from outdoor pursuits to live music and great local eateries.
Our staff enjoys group outings to sporting events, cultural events and clinic-
sponsored retreats.
Albuquerque, New Mexico is a beautiful city that has 4 distinct seasons. We'd love to
meet you and introduce you to our team. We aim to attract the best candidates and
to keep them happy and professionally fulfilled long-term!
