Join Our Medical Team!​

We fill a gap that no other shelter does in caring for animals, their humans, and local communities.​

East Bay SPCA is looking for veterinarians and medical professionals to work in our Theodore B. Travers Family Veterinary Clinic, Spay/Neuter Clinics, and Shelter Medicine Program — providing affordable and comprehensive animal care. As one of the oldest animal welfare organizations in the country, we offer a competitive compensation package with full benefits. ​

Theodore B. Travers Family Veterinary Clinic​

Our veterinarians are truly saving lives every single day. With more than 5,000 appointments per year, our clinic has some unique features:​

Unlike any other shelter– You will be a part of a larger mission to eliminate animal cruelty, neglect, and overpopulation in the East Bay.​

A people first approach– Our VP of Medical Services supports many of the administrative duties, allowing our staff to focus on patients. Sharing duties helps to proactively prevent burnout and we have strategies in place to help with compassion fatigue. We have a veterinary social worker on staff to help with humane advocacy work, helping our clients get access to financial assistance and other programs designed to help keep companion animals with their people.

What Makes Us Different ​

Our full-service veterinary clinic runs part like a general practice, and part urgent care. Our team regularly evaluates new and unique cases and diversifies their skillsets by treating referrals, stray animals, and performing high-volume-high-quality spay and neuter surgeries at our Spay/Neuter Centers. We also see and treat animals referred to us by local partners who are aware of the individual or pet owner’s financial limitations. Our veterinarians are trained to think creatively and provide options to clients that may not have many others. Our organization works consistently with both internal and external partners to decrease the financial burden of veterinary care for individuals and families in need. Our team also has a full-time case manager with a social work background who supports our clients through this process so that the veterinary team can focus on continuing to provide excellent medical care. We value the impact our work has on East Bay communities, and beyond.

A Positive Work Environment​

We offer opportunities to:​

• Shape the evolving field of community medicine;​
• Grow skills and experience unique cases;
• Provide care to animals that may not have elsewhere to turn;
• Influence future veterinary professionals of tomorrow;
• Be the change you want to see in our world.

Bay Area Perks

Northern California is one of the most sought-after locations in the world. Work in a field that changes lives while living your best one!​ 

The Bay Area is home to some of the most incredible wildlife, parks, and people in the country— but then again, we might be biased. The diversity of the East Bay means you can find any type of food, fun or activity you could want. We are a hub of world-class eateries, independent businesses, entertainment and concert venues, and an eclectic collection of museums and cultural centers. ​ 

Located just three hours shy of Lake Tahoe and Mount Shasta and literal minutes from the bay, living here means that you really can visit the snow and surf in the same day if you wanted to!  Hop in your car and enjoy the ocean from different vantage points from the hills of Oakland, in San Francisco, or Marin Headlands. Drive up the coast to the Redwoods, Russian River Valley, or stunning Mendocino. Locally, Napa, Sonoma, and wine country are just an hour north of Oakland. 

Relocation is worth the miles travelled when your backyard is a wonderland. Life in the East Bay is filled with plenty of 75-degree days when other regions are simply roasting. Of the many benefits of being a resident– our favorite is the people.
