Career Center

Well established, small animal hospital + exotics with 4 busy locations across Southern Illinois. We're looking for another Full Time DVM for our Marion and Herrin locations. We have over 250 combined years of experience and a highly motivated, experienced staff for support. Open Monday through Saturday, we offer flexible scheduling, pro-sal compensation model and full benefits. 

Central Hospital for Animals' goal for the past 45 years has been and continues to be to provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for each patient we see. Our main hospital is located in Herrin, IL with satellite locations in Carbondale, Marion & Harrisburg. All locations are equipped with a full pharmacy, laboratory and surgical suites. We have a team of 6 veterinarians and 35 highly qualified support staff to support a seasoned or new graduate DVM. 

Southern Illinois is a wonderful place to call home! With over 33 state parks and just as many wineries, you’ll never be more than an hour away from a new trail to hike, lake to fish or wine to taste. Speaking to more than just the outdoorsmen (and women), Southern Illinois is also home to the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds (DuQuoin, IL), where you can find year-round events like the DuQuoin State Fair, live music, rodeos, monster truck events and Street Machine Nationals.

While the communities surrounding our four locations in Carbondale, Herrin, Marion and Harrisburg boast a welcoming small town feel, St. Louis, MO and all it has to offer is within a two-hour drive and Nashville, TN is only a three-hour drive! Whether you are interested in hunting and fishing or baseball and boardwalks, Southern Illinois welcomes all!
