Urgent Care Relief Veterinarian
Location: Cumberland County, ME | Job Type: Relief | Base Salary: $1,400 per shift
Consultant - Ryan Thwaite
Telephone: (332) 213 3066 | Email: ryan@atlasconsultancygroup.com
Job Description
We are recruiting on behalf of a well regarded, privately owned urgent care veterinary practice in Cumberland County, Maine that is launching a brand new urgent care service and is looking for a dependable Urgent Care Relief Veterinarian to join during this exciting stage of growth.
This purpose built urgent care service has been intentionally designed to support quality medicine and sustainable workflows, meaning you will be joining a well organized program from the very beginning rather than stepping into an already stretched schedule.
With the service actively growing, the practice has an ongoing need for a skilled urgent care vet who can commit to consistent, scheduled shifts.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants the autonomy of urgent care work with structured hours and predictable scheduling, rather than the unpredictability of one off bookings.
You will work set shifts throughout the assignment, allowing you to build familiarity with the team, systems, and caseload while helping shape workflows and protocols as the service develops.
The role involves a varied urgent, non critical caseload, including illness, injury, diagnostics, and minor procedures. You will work alongside a trained and engaged support team, with the option to collaborate on cases requiring transfer to referring vets or specialty hospitals, and there is genuine scope to bring your own clinical insight into shaping patient care standards as the program grows.
- Brand new urgent care service in Cumberland County, Maine, currently in a growth phase
- Well regarded, privately owned practice with an established culture of teamwork and support
- Set shifts Friday through Sunday, 10am to 7pm (9 hour shifts)

- Comfortable managing urgent, non critical cases including illness, injury, diagnostics, and minor procedures
- Confident working in a dynamic, developing environment
- Strong communication skills, with kindness and professionalism as standard
- Aligns well with a collaborative, human centered team culture
- Previous relief experience is beneficial, though vets new to relief work are encouraged to inquire
- Competitive flat rate of $1,400 per shift
- Consistent, structured scheduling rather than one off bookings
- Familiarity of returning to the same practice, team, and systems throughout the assignment
- Shift schedule and clinical expectations communicated in advance
- Chance to help shape workflows and protocols in a newly launched service
- Supportive, well resourced team on every shift
- Continued support from Atlas Relief throughout the assignment
