Description

BluePearl Pet Hospice is a well-established and rapidly-growing hospice and end-of-life service started in the Bay Area of California in 2012 by Dr. Shea Cox, one of the country’s most respected leaders in hospice and end-of-life care. We take an interdisciplinary approach to care and our team consists of Veterinarians, RVTs, Care Coordinators, and Pet Loss Specialists providing superior in-home care. We do not take the place of the primary care veterinarian or specialist, but rather work collaboratively with them to provide adjunctive in-home options for palliative care and end-of-life services.

• We currently service the East Bay, San Francisco, and Marin County.
• We are looking to expand to Mountain View and Palo Alto.
• Because we are an in-home service, we are not tied to a specific location; we are looking to hire Veterinarians in regions that have both an established - or potential - need for our services.
• We offer services and support to our clients 7 days a week.
• Our appointments are 2-3 hours in length, allowing for a relaxed, in-depth appointment – we don’t like stress!
• We are a highly creative and out-of-the-box team that continually pushes the boundaries of how we can do things better for the families we care for, and equally as important, for each other.
• We remain a separate business unit within the BluePearl family, and with that, we are able to function independently from a corporate setting. Our structure allows us to offer team members all the advantages of a large organization, while keeping that home-grown, small practice feel.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead with heart, always.
• Provide thorough in-home hospice and palliative care, pain management, and euthanasia services (or any combination of these services) to pets in a mutually agreed upon service region.
• Option to provide nationwide Telehealth services focused on Quality of Life.
• Ensure timely communication to the team and clients.
• Ensure thorough and timely completion of medical records – referring vets are our other clients.

 

Details & Qualifications:

• We are seeking a compassionate, reliable, and experienced Veterinarian to support our growing business.
• Experience in emergency practice preferred, but not required.
• Must have a valid DEA and veterinary license in the state of California.
• Must have a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, and use own vehicle to drive to/from appointments in agreed upon service region.
• Must be able to lift a minimum of 50 lbs.
• The average euthanasia appointment is 1 hour, and the average hospice/pain management appointment is 2 hours (plus drive time).
• We will provide specific training on hospice and end-of-life care.
• All medications and supplies will be provided.
