About the role

Lebanon Equine Clinic has served the equestrian community of Warren County and surrounding areas for over 65 years, growing into one of the largest equine-exclusive practices in the region. The clinic offers advanced diagnostics including digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy, as well as progressive therapies such as regenerative medicine and biologics. Located in Lebanon, Ohio — just outside Cincinnati — the practice provides a small‑town atmosphere with easy access to city amenities, a lower cost of living, and a strong equestrian‑friendly community. As part of Community Veterinary Partners (CVP), clinicians benefit from a network of 600+ doctors across 140+ hospitals in 18 states, comprehensive mental‑health support, clinical autonomy, and structured growth and mentorship programs.

• Generous PTO plus paid parental leave.
• Yearly continuing education funds and paid time off specifically for CE.
• Clinic covers fees for state licenses, DEA, AVMA PLIT, etc.
• 401(k) match and equity opportunities for long‑term wealth building.

Pay

Competitive base salary combined with monthly production compensation. The structure includes no negative accrual, offering true unlimited earning potential. A tailored sign‑on bonus is also provided.

Schedule

On‑call coverage runs approximately 5:00 PM – 8:00 AM, with the highest demand on weekends. The weekend schedule is structured as Friday evening through Monday morning, with flexibility to divide that block to create a sustainable schedule. Additional coverage may be available for select weeknights, holidays, or extended PTO needs. While on call, you remain at home and respond only when an emergency requires an ambulatory visit; emergency volume varies, and not every call results in a farm visit.
