Full Job Description
Practice great medicine without sacrificing life outside the clinic.

IndeVets is currently hiring for one full-time opening and one part-time opening in Tampa, FL.

How It Works

As a full-time W-2 veterinarian in the Tampa area, working 4-5 days per week, you'll build a schedule you control by choosing the days you want to work. Your schedule is built in advance around those preferences by a dedicated scheduling coordinator, giving you the clarity and predictability to plan your life outside the clinic. We handle scheduling, logistics, and coordination, so you can focus on practicing medicine.

You'll have a guaranteed salary as your foundation, with the option to earn even more by picking up additional shifts when it works for you. Extra shifts can be paid out or converted into additional PTO, giving you flexibility in how you're rewarded.

You'll practice across a network of trusted hospital partners in Tampa, FL, building meaningful relationships with teams while gaining diverse clinical experience. Interested in surgery, dentistry, ER, or urgent care? We'll work to include those types of shifts in your schedule when possible. At the same time, you'll have the consistency, benefits, and professional support of a full-time employer.

No chasing shifts. No income uncertainty. No last-minute schedule gaps. Just a structured, sustainable way to practice veterinary medicine full-time, with the support and stability to make it last.

Practice Medicine Your Way
  • No production quotas
  • No negative accrual
  • No restrictive non-competes
  • Clinical autonomy with a focus on patient care, not numbers

You practice independently but you're never on your own. You'll have dedicated medical leadership and mentorship behind you every step of the way, plus a collaborative community of fellow veterinarians who genuinely get what you're going through. And when life gets heavy, you'll have something most employers don't offer: access to a veterinary social worker. Add in ongoing CE and professional development opportunities, and this is the kind of support system that actually helps you grow.

A Career That Grows With You
  • Leadership and mentorship opportunities
  • Exposure to diverse clinical settings
  • Flexibility to evolve your schedule over time
  • A model designed to prevent burnout, not cause it

Compensation & Benefits (Full-time, 4 or 5 days/week)
  • Guaranteed salary with consistent, predictable pay
  • Multiple medical plan options (including fully paid plans)
  • Dental + vision insurance
  • Generous, guilt-free PTO and paid holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • CE allowance + dedicated CE PTO
  • 401(k) + Roth 401(k) with 100% match up to 4% (immediate vesting)
  • Company-paid liability + short-term disability insurance
  • Discounts on VIN, VETgirl, Fear Free, VetRec AI scribe, and more

What We're Looking For

Requirements
  • DVM or VMD from an AVMA-accredited program (or equivalent)
  • Active license in FL (or ability to obtain)
  • DEA + controlled substance license (as applicable)
  • 1+ year of clinical experience in a small animal setting
  • Confidence practicing independently
  • Strong communication and client relationship skills

Nice-to-Haves
  • GP, ER, or urgent care experience
  • Internship training
