Hillcrest Animal Hospital in Rockford, IL, is looking for an associate veterinarian to join our fantastic supportive, friendly, and team-oriented practice in either a part-time or full-time role, to meet the demands of our increasing client base. 

New grads and experienced doctors alike are encouraged to apply! Our practice is now an appointment-only clinic! Every day is a little different in this busy practice, so you can look forward to a wide variety of cases. 

We are a fast-paced practice for dogs and cats, and we have been a staple in the Rockford community for nearly 50 years! We are focused on delivering the best veterinary care for every stage of a pet's life — from pediatric examinations and vaccinations through geriatric wellness visits. We are thrilled to work with local organizations like Winnebago County Animal Services, Paws Humane Society of Winnebago, and Care for Pets!

Rockford is a unique place to live and work. Nicknamed the Forest City, we are known for cultural or historically significant venues like Anderson Japanese Gardens, Klehm Arboretum, Tinker Swiss Cottage, BMO Harris Bank Center, Coronado Theatre, and the Burpee Museum of Natural History. We are also home to the band Cheap Trick and the Phantom Regiment. We are close to outdoor recreational spots like Rock Cut State Park, Atwood Homestead County Forest Preserve, and Lowden State Park. Rockford is also centrally located one hour from Madison, WI, and a little over an hour from Chicago and is home to the Rockford Ice Hogs, the minor league partner to the Chicago Blackhawks! The movie "A League of Their Own" starring Tom Hanks was based on the infamous Rockford Peaches.

The emotional and physical well-being of our employees is important to us.  We offer a competitive salary, medical benefits (including health, dental, and vision), 401(k), employee assistance program (EAP), CE allowance, vacation, dues, liability coverage, mentorship and so much more. 

We would love to tell you more. Apply today!
