are you ready to make a difference?

Welcome to Nevis Animal Speak!

At Nevis Animal Speak, we believe excellent medicine and resource constrained communities can coexist.

We believe in work–life balance, meaningful impact, and practicing thoughtful medicine in a setting where your surgical skills and client communication skills truly matter. Our island offers ocean swims before work, peaceful evenings, and a close-knit community — while our clinic offers purpose-driven, hands-on medicine.


We are seeking an experienced locum small animal veterinarian to support our established charity clinic for 1–3 months.

This is high-impact, resource-aware medicine in a community where access to care is limited and every case counts.

Our main treatment area

We couldn't do what we do without support from our Locums and volunteers!

AND MORE!

Just the Basics

About Nevis Animal Speak

Surgical Competency Must Include

Candidates must be comfortable:

  • Working with support from a trained veterinary assistant
  • Collaborating with volunteer vets, veterinary technicians rotating in as available
  • Teaching and mentoring student externs (final-year veterinary students from U.S. programs)

This role requires confident surgical leadership and the ability to guide cases clearly, but you will not be operating without infrastructure. Our systems are in place — we need your clinical strength.

  • Urinary catheterization (male & female dogs & cats — we see many blocked cats)
  • Nasogastric tubes (Parvo puppies)
  • Esophageal feeding tubes
  • Ultrasonography
  • Blood transfusions (hookworm anemia, tick fever, immune-mediated disease)

Cultural and Clinical Fit

Surgical Competency Must Include

Frequently Performed Procedures

Island dogs tend to heal differently.

We frequently see cases that in higher-resource settings might be euthanized.

We do not perform elective euthanasia.

Fractures once thought to require amputation often regain 80–90% function with conservative management.

We need a veterinarian who:

  • Exercises strong independent clinical judgement
  • Communicates clearly and calmly
  • Practices medicine thoughtfully within financial constraints
  • Respects community realities
  • Understands resilience — both in patients and in practice
