Job description
Want to Love Being a Veterinarian Again? You became a veterinarian to solve cases, help pets, and build relationships with clients—not to race through appointments, skip lunch, and feel like every day is a sprint.
If you're looking for a hospital where you can practice great medicine with people who genuinely enjoy coming to work, then Channel Islands Veterinary Hospital is the place for you!
Our team has 172 years of combined tenure. People don't stay somewhere for decades because it's convenient. They stay because they're respected, supported, challenged, and surrounded by teammates they genuinely enjoy working with.
We've been serving Port Hueneme since 1987 , and today we're a thriving collaborative 5-doctor practice where generations of families trust us with their pets. We're proud of our medicine, and we're even prouder of our people.

Rotating 4- and 5-day work weeks
No Sundays
No holidays
A schedule that respects your time
Dedicated doctor support (approximately one technician, one assistant, and one CSR per doctor)

You’ll
Build lasting relationships with clients and their pets.
Practice high-quality medicine with the support you deserve.
Work alongside experienced veterinarians who enjoy collaborating and sharing ideas.
