Why work at QRPH

Our team at Quinte Regional Pet Hospital is making a difference, and so can you.

Urgent care can be fast-paced and unpredictable, but our team’s compassion, skill, and dedication to our patients and clients never wavers. We are so grateful for the support we give one another every day.

If you’re considering a career in emergency veterinary medicine, QRPH near the Bay of Quinte offers a strong mix of clinical growth and balance. We’re looking for a confident veterinarian who wants meaningful cases and the chance to make a real impact. In return, you’ll get mentorship, solid support, and a schedule that respects your time.

In emergency practice, your shift ends when it ends, so you can fully switch off. You’ll also have the space to take your time with cases, explain options clearly, and build trust with clients.

Outside the hospital, Belleville adds real appeal with easy access to hiking, camping, biking, boating, and fishing, plus a historic downtown with great shops and restaurants, a lower cost of living, and local events like PorchFest, SoupFest, concerts, and farmers’ markets.

We support each other

“I love how close-knit our team is. Whether it’s going for hikes, grabbing dinner, or doing fun activities like axe throwing, we make time to connect outside of work. It’s such a great way to decompress and build stronger relationships with one another.

Emergency medicine certainly comes with its difficult and emotional moments, but those are also the times that matter most. I take a lot of pride in being there for both our patients and their families during stressful and uncertain situations. Knowing that our team can provide not only medical care but also compassion, understanding, and support makes the work incredibly meaningful. It’s a privilege to help guide clients through vulnerable times and make meaningful bonds with my team inside and outside of the hospital.

That balance of hard work, support, and genuine connection is what makes me truly love being part of Quinte Regional Pet Hospital.” –Jenna, RVT & PM

“I take pride in helping ensure our clinic is well-equipped for after-hours care, from having the right equipment to the necessary medications on hand. It’s important to me that we’re always prepared to provide the best possible care when it’s needed most.

We have a fully stocked blood/cytology/urine lab, oxygen kennels, a equipped surgical suite, comprehensive crash carts, a well-supplied pharmacy for after-hours care, a digital X-ray and ultrasound machine, heated dog runs, a comfort cart for euthanasias, a colouring wall for de-stressing, and more.” –Jenna, RVT & PM

We offer balance and passion

“As an after-hours hospital, QRPH provides an excellent opportunity for work/life balance. Working at an emergency hospital means your day ends when your shift is over. This structure allows you to leave work behind and enjoy personal time to the fullest.

I came from a general practice background, and while I truly enjoyed my time there, I found that the routine of appointments and surgeries could feel repetitive.

When I started working weekends at Quinte Regional Pet Hospital, everything changed. I was quickly drawn to the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of emergency medicine and discovered a real passion for it. No two shifts are ever the same, and that challenge is something I’ve come to love.” –Jenna, RVT & PM

We offer great benefits and opportunities

“Our team members enjoy health benefits, continuing education, and career growth opportunities that might not be offered at smaller clinics.

But another thing that makes this clinic so special is its location. We’re situated on the outskirts of Belleville, right near the water, which adds such a peaceful and scenic backdrop to our work.

Belleville itself has a wonderful small-town charm, with a beautiful downtown, affordable housing, amazing restaurants, and lovely parks and hiking trails. It’s the kind of place where you can truly enjoy both your work and your life outside of it.

We’re also just a short drive from Prince Edward County and Picton, which offer stunning beaches, wineries, and endless opportunities to relax and explore. It really is the best of both worlds.” –Jenna, RVT & PM

We prioritize an inclusive environment

“What truly makes this place special is the team. Everyone here is hardworking, empathetic, skilled, and knowledgeable.

We work well together in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, and there’s always a strong sense of support, especially for new team members. Mentorship and teamwork are a big part of our culture, and it shows in everything we do.” –Jenna, RVT & PM
