Veterinarian / Clinic Director

Juneau Animal Rescue | Juneau, Alaska

Part-Time or Full-Time, Depending on Candidate Availability and Organizational Needs

Juneau Animal Rescue (JAR) is seeking a Veterinarian / Clinic Director to oversee veterinary care for animals in our shelter and help lead JAR's veterinary clinic and medical programs.

We recognize that the right fit may look different for different candidates. JAR is open to both part-time and full-time arrangements, with schedule, responsibilities, and compensation structured around the successful candidate's availability, experience, and the needs of the organization.

About the Position

The Veterinarian / Clinic Director serves as JAR's primary veterinary medical authority and oversees the health and medical care of animals in our shelter and foster programs.

  • Providing veterinary oversight and consultation to animal care staff and Animal Control Officers.
  • Overseeing prescription medications, controlled substances, medical records, and applicable veterinary regulatory requirements.
  • Assisting with animal cruelty and neglect investigations when veterinary expertise is required.
  • Working with JAR leadership on clinic operations, budgeting, staffing, partnerships, and future veterinary service opportunities.
  • Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with Juneau's veterinary community.
