About Us
Southeast Veterinary Neurology (SEVN) is one of the United States’ largest independently and veterinarian owned neurology groups. Neurology isn’t just something we offer. We are a single-specialty practice exclusively treating diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles all day, every day.
Our mission is to keep families together by providing second chances to pets with neurological disease and hope to the people who love them through compassionate neurological care to patients, empathetic service to pet parents, and humble expertise to the veterinary community.
Over the next decade, our goal is to keep 70,000 families whole, ensuring their beloved pets not only survive but thrive despite neurological disease; provide the ultimate workplace experience for our team, being known for our culture of growth, collaboration, and support; and become the undisputed leader in veterinary neurology, pushing the boundaries of our field and redefining the standards of care.
This is where you come in. To help us accomplish our mission and goals, we are looking for talented, motivated, and humble team players to join us.
About You
Are you self-driven and eager to get things done, yet patient and methodical? Do you hold yourself to a high standard and take pride in your attention to detail? Do you welcome feedback and direction and relish in information and learning? Do you want to pet all the dogs and cats?
If you find yourself answering yes to these questions, consider SEVN as the next step in your career.
Specialty is an area you might have considered working in before, and you might even feel a little bit intimidated by the thought of making such a move. Perhaps you’ve asked yourself questions like, “am I really good enough?” Don’t let this be the reason not to apply.
About The Role
Because we are single-specialty, things are much more orderly and less chaotic than other hospitals. This gives us the opportunity to train you intensively and you the chance to get really good at what you do.
Plus, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in addition to a highly trained and supportive team. And because we have a significantly large team of board-certified neurologists, you’ll be able to develop your talents alongside multiple experts who are passionate about your growth.
Most importantly, the work you’ll do at Southeast Veterinary Neurology matters, because we do amazing things, like help paralyzed pets walk again!
