Livewell Animal Urgent Care Center is a state-of-the art, brand new facility located just six miles from Music City USA, Nashville, TN! The first of its kind in the area, this urgent care is the irrefutable link between general practice and emergency and specialty practice.

Operating during the hours most needed by pet parents, and at a cost they can afford, Livewell strives to provide the best care possible at a reasonable price. And that’s where you come in. We are looking for that special veterinarian who has emergency experience but may no longer want to work those long overnight shifts. Or maybe you are ready to take your career in a different direction, we’d like to talk to you as well! Everyday is a unique challenge and you will have a highly skilled team of veterinary technicians and assistants standing by to assist you through each case from start to finish. 

We are dedicated to work life balance and do everything in our power to ensure your work day ends as close to the end of your shift as possible. We offer a true PTO so that your time off pays you for your time away from work. We are also committed to continuing education and would encourage candidates to expand their knowledge in their area of interest. 

We have a complete Idexx in-house lab suite to provide you with all of the answers you need within minutes. Our staff is highly trained at reading bloodwork, cytology, blood smears, fecals, urine and assisting you with diagnostics of all kinds. Need help with surgery? We have you covered there as well. We have staff who have worked with board certified specialists in their fields that can assist with all manner of tasks.

We are committed to our patients and clients and insist on a patient-centric operation above all else. Just spend a few hours with us and you will see this is unlike any other place you have ever worked. We are focused, dedicated and determined to set the standard of excellence in urgent care medicine for the Livewell brand. If this isn’t enough to make you want to join our team then how about:

We support our team members with A LOT of programs designed for personal and professional growth including:

Industry-Leading PTO Program
At SVP, we like to call it TRUE PTO--because here, you can actually take personal time off without worrying about making up lost production when you get back. Production-wise it’s like you never left. Relaxation-wise, it’s a game-changer.

High Producers Bonus
CHA-CHING. At SVP, eligible DVMs earn a production bonus of 30% of all revenue generated above $750K a year. Here, you can earn a greater share of the success you help create. Like we said...Cha-Ching.

Maternity Leave
FULL PAY for four weeks. Because mamas deserve it. Plus short-term disability at 60% of your salary (six weeks for natural birth, eight weeks for C-section), and all still in addition to your PTO. (P.S. We definitely want baby pics when you’re ready to share!)

SVP Leadership Academy
At SVP, we never stop investing in our people. And we’re turning our great veterinarians into great leaders, as well. This executive education experience is designed to develop your business leadership acumen to drive success around your hospital’s culture, team development, and operations. Instruction is led by a Vanderbilt University faculty member and includes a variety of guest experts and speakers.

And the list continues...

• Doctor Mentorship Program: New DVMs are paired with experienced mentor DVMs for a year-long customized learning experience like no other.
• Peer Network: Enjoy 5,000+ phone-a-friend opportunities to veterinary professionals across the country who share the goal of a collaborative working environment.
• Dental Academy: Small-group boot camps and clinical rotations are led by respected industry experts to develop your specialty skills.
• DVM Teammate Referral Program: Get rewarded for making connections that turn into amazing hires.
• Flexible Compensation Structure: Get paid in a way that works for you.
• 401(k): We’re serious about investing in our people. Our teammates receive a hefty 100% match on the first 3% they put in, plus a 50% match on the next 2%.

Our brand in a nutshell: You + SVP | Amazing Together

Amazing Together encompasses SVP’s living standard of excellence as a team and the positive impact we deliver for our partners, teammates, clients, pets and communities. Our commitment to this standard is evident in the care we provide to our hospitals and the care they provide for pets. Our continued growth is a direct result of this dedication. This statement is the culmination of our WAG values and is, critically, a statement that aligns with the ambitious vision and unique culture at the heart of SVP. And we invite YOU to be a part of it all.

We live out our WAG Values on a daily basis.

Work Together: At SVP, collaboration and respect are the foundation of our culture--and of our collective success. By working together, we uncover solutions and opportunities that help elevate the team as a whole. And with our unparalleled peer network and depth of resources (think: in-house specialty referrals, a dedicated marketing squad, operations assets, and more), you always have the support that you need to do your best work (and have fun while you’re at it).

Amaze: Our mission is to amaze our clients with exceptional veterinary care and personalized client experiences, as well as to amaze our teammates with the drive to go the extra mile. We find ways to say, “yes”. And we treat others as we would like to be treated.

Grow: We always ask, “How can we do it/make it/be better?” We’re proactive in our quests for knowledge, new ways to engage our clients, and pathways for leadership and development among all of our teammates. With SVP, it’s not just a job. It’s a career.

Southern Veterinary Partners is a veterinarian owned and managed network of animal hospitals with the common mission of providing best-in-class veterinary care with exceptional client experiences.

SVP pursues partnerships with like-minded veterinarians to build this growing network of compassionate, service-oriented animal hospitals. We’re based in Birmingham, AL, but the heartbeat of our organization is in our 300+ local animal hospitals across the country.

SVP provides integrated support, from HR, finance, and inventory management to marketing, recruiting, regional operational support and more to our hospital teams. By leveraging our Home Office resources, the hospitals in our network are able to focus on the medicine and caring for their patients. Each day is truly a partnership (hence, the “P” in SVP).

Our team’s continuous dedication has rewarded us with remarkable growth, and Southern Veterinary Partners now employs more than 8,000 employees nationwide. The organization’s success has not gone unnoticed, landing us recognition as #19 on Newsweek’s “Most Loved Workplaces” list in 2022. Additionally, we have ranked among Inc. 5000’s List of "Fastest Growing Companies in America" (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022) and the Birmingham Business Journal's "FastTrack 30" of the Fastest Growing Companies in Birmingham (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021).
