Imagine you’re being invited to join a team of trailblazers shaping the future of veterinary care. Picture a dynamic, fast-growing organization where innovation and compassion are at the core of everything we do. That’s Truss Vet.

In just a few short years, we’ve gone from an idea to a thriving veterinary urgent care platform, and we’re not stopping anytime soon. With three successful clinics and a fourth on the horizon, we’re redefining how pets and their people experience care. With our Wilmington location set to launch in the summer of 2025, this is your chance to grow with us and be part of something transformative.

At Truss Vet, we’re on a mission to elevate the human-animal bond by removing barriers to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. Our urgent care clinics are tailored to pets with non-life-threatening issues that don’t belong in the ER but can’t wait for a regular vet visit. Think of us as the sweet spot between general practice and emergency care—a place where we deliver exceptional medical outcomes while ensuring a better quality of life for our team. 

Here’s where you come in: as a veterinarian at Truss Vet, you’re more than a doctor. You’re a clinical and cultural leader who sets the tone for patient care, client experience, and team well-being. You’ll:

• Practice the highest standards of medicine while embracing a growth mindset.

• Foster a collaborative, fun, work-hard/play-hard team environment.

• Exceed client expectations with empathy, professionalism, and a touch of humanity.

• Help shape the culture and care standards of a clinic that’s quickly becoming a standout in the industry.

We’re a young organization, which means there’s tons of room to innovate, build, and leave your mark. Whether you’re looking for the thrill of startup energy or the stability of a growing organization, Truss Vet offers both. You’ll be joining a team that’s passionate, supportive, and determined to make a difference—for pets, their people, and each other.

So, what do you think? Are you ready to be part of the next chapter of Truss Vet’s journey?

You’re a great fit if:

• Someone would describe you as proactive, detail-oriented, timely, organized, productive, analytical... and still a people person! Bonus points if you can move things with your mind!

• You have a growth mindset; you never stop learning, and you’re constantly looking for ways to advance yourself, your career, and your team

• You want to work for a company that has a big vision and ambitious plans for growth, and you want to be a part of helping achieve that growth

• You want to make a difference in the world, have an impact on people’s lives, and change the future of animal healthcare for the better

• You love working in teams and find that you’re able to relate to people of all types (yes, people are gross, but you didn’t choose vet med because you love animals and hate people)

• You’re willing to “get your hands dirty;” no task is beneath you, you’re entrepreneurial and a servant leader

• You provide energy to the people you’re around because you’re generally a happy, positive, optimistic person (after interacting with you, people feel energized vs. drained)

• You are licensed or eligible for veterinary licensure in the state of NC

We believe in:

• Treating people like we want to be treated

• Working hard and pursuing excellence while still having fun

A little bit about our clinic:

• For too long, veterinary hospitals have been off the beaten path, sequestered to old strip centers, or simply too hard to find. Pets have become family members so why shouldn't veterinary clinics be located where family members shop, work, and dine? And why shouldn't veterinary teams get to work in beautiful, safe, and vibrant locations?

• We’re outfitting the facility with brand new, industry-leading equipment (Idexx CBC/chemistry, automated fecal/UA, digital cytology, and on-site enzyme analysis), Idexx digital radiography, ultrasound, fully cloud-based and mobile technology solutions, and a modern aesthetic reflective of today’s best healthcare environments

Our Values:

• Accountability: Our team is the engine that changes lives; we are driven by a desire to succeed and hold each other accountable to that success.

• Conscientiousness: Our standards are reflected in every choice we make, and even the smallest actions may profoundly impact others; the details matter!

• Positivity: We’re endlessly optimistic, we encourage collaboration, we empower and elevate each other, and we have fun doing it!
