On behalf of our colleagues in Germany, we are looking for a Veterinarian (m/f/d) to join our small animal practice in Friedrichstadt, Schleswig-Holstein.

600 m² of modern veterinary facilities. A 13-person team. And a historic old town you can explore on foot during your lunch break.

Modern small animal medicine doesn’t have to mean working in a big city.

If you are looking for a place where you can work independently, develop your veterinary skills and be part of a supportive and well-established team, Friedrichstadt could be the right place for you.

Our practice combines modern veterinary medicine with a broad range of services, excellent facilities and a strong team culture. Here, you will have the opportunity to take responsibility for your own patients while working closely with experienced colleagues and specialists.

We are looking for a:

Veterinarian (m/f/d)
Full-time or part-time | Start date: as soon as possible

Before you apply – language requirements

As you will be working with clients and colleagues in Germany, German language skills are important for this position:

• German: B2 level recommended, with the ability to use veterinary terminology and communicate confidently with pet owners

• English: B2 level

What your working day could look like

Following a structured onboarding and induction period, you will independently manage your own consultations and support your patients from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up care.

As our third veterinarian, you will become an important part of a close-knit team where collaboration and high-quality veterinary care go hand in hand.

You will work in a modern practice covering around 600 m², equipped with everything needed for high-quality small animal medicine: separate waiting areas for dogs and cats, inpatient facilities, specialised treatment rooms and a spacious surgical suite with two operating theatres for advanced procedures.

Complex cases? Absolutely. Referrals from veterinary colleagues in the region? A regular part of our day-to-day work.

Your responsibilities

• Independently managing consultations in small animal medicine

• Examining, diagnosing and treating dogs, cats and other small animals

• Advising and supporting pet owners throughout their pet’s treatment

• Performing surgical procedures, ranging from soft tissue surgery to orthopaedic and neurological procedures, depending on your experience and interests

• Collaborating with referring veterinarians

• Actively contributing to the continued development of our medical standards

What we offer

• Advanced diagnostic facilities, including CT, Doppler ultrasound, endoscopy, EEG and ECG, as well as radiotherapy for oncology patients

• Two fully equipped operating theatres for advanced surgical procedures

• Attractive and predictable working hours, with night or emergency duties only if you choose to participate

• Flexible working models supporting a genuine work-life balance

• Structured onboarding from day one

• Close collaboration with specialists across different veterinary disciplines

• A friendly and supportive 13-person team of veterinarians and veterinary nurses/assistants

• Support for continuing education, professional development and attendance at conferences

• Long-term career opportunities with genuine possibilities for professional progression

• Support with finding accommodation

• And yes, your dog can come to work too, provided they are comfortable and sociable around others

Don’t meet every requirement?

No problem.

Perhaps you have recently qualified. Perhaps you already have several years of experience. Or maybe you are looking for the right place to develop a particular veterinary interest or specialisation.

For us, what matters most is not ticking every box on a CV. We are looking for someone who shares our enthusiasm for modern veterinary medicine, enjoys being part of a team and wants to continue developing professionally.

If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

What you bring

• A degree in veterinary medicine that is recognised, or eligible for recognition, in Germany for obtaining German veterinary licensure (Approbation).

• An interest in modern small animal medicine and continued professional development

• Previous professional experience is welcome, but newly qualified veterinarians are equally encouraged to apply

• Confidence and enjoyment in communicating with pet owners

• Team spirit, initiative and a strong sense of responsibility

• An interest in developing or specialising in an area such as surgery is an advantage, but not a requirement

Work where northern German charm meets modern veterinary medicine

Friedrichstadt is not a place you quickly forget.

With its historic canals, Dutch-style gabled houses and relaxed old-town atmosphere, the town offers something quite different from big-city life. And it is all within walking distance of the practice.

Here, you get short distances, affordable living, beautiful northern German countryside and the opportunity to practise modern veterinary medicine at a high professional level.

It is a combination you don’t often find.

Our Friedrichstadt practice is part of IVC Evidensia, Europe’s largest veterinary group. This gives our colleagues access to a broad range of opportunities for personal and professional development, including continuing education, training and collaboration with specialists across different veterinary disciplines.

Together, we want to help shape the veterinary medicine of tomorrow: locally in Friedrichstadt, together with other practices and hospitals, and through national and international professional networks.
