Celebrating 134 Years of Serving the Lowcountry -- Charleston County, South Carolina

A New Era in the Journey of the Charleston Animal Society

As we achieved the most ambitious goal in the history of Charleston Animal Society (formerly the John Ancrum SPCA), the completion of a new $11.2 million state-of-the-art animal care facility including a high-volume high-quality affordable spay/neuter clinic, we refocus our efforts on providing the highest quality care and opportunities to find loving homes for the thousands of abandoned and unwanted animals who enter our doors each year. Although we have reached a milestone in our history, we will not rest and rededicate every ounce of our energy to creating a humane community where no animal is left behind.

The Charleston Animal Society

Founded in 1874, the Charleston Animal Society is a Lowcountry institution, offering refuge and rehabilitation to over 10,000 animals each year through a myriad of services, including adoptions, foster care, humane education, lost-and-found pet services, low-cost clinics and more. A staff of 50 supported by numerous volunteers care for homeless animals each year and assist all of Charleston County’s residents with their animal needs. The Society operates as a nonprofit charitable organization, with a strong funding base. Led by a progressive President and a seasoned Executive Director, the Society is embarking on a historic path to establish an adoption guarantee for each and every healthy adoptable animal.

The Ideal Chief of Surgery and Veterinarians

The Charleston Animal Society’s Chief of Surgery will be the primary individual responsible for medical care provided to clinic patients in accordance with established policies and procedures; Supervise and provide the highest quality medical care possible to patients served through the spay/neuter clinic in a humane and professional manner; and provide management and oversight of clinic staff and facilities.

Essential duties and responsibilities include the following: (other duties may be assigned)

• Promote the humane care and treatment of animals at all times. • Maintain and provide proof of a current license to practice veterinary medicine in required states (SC and NC). • Supervise patient flow to maximize quantity and quality of services provided. • Complete wellness and surgical procedures in a competent, safe and efficient manner. • Supervise entire team involved in spay/neuter clinic. • Available by telephone, digital pager or cellular phone after hours for post-surgical complications or emergencies. • Maintain complete surgical, complication, mortality, and controlled drug logs and individual patient medical records. • Maintain clean, neat and orderly work area at all times. • Assist with monitoring use of medical supplies and supply requisition. • Comply with all provisions of applicable professional service contracts with agencies and private organizations as required. • Comply with and enforce clinic procedures and employee manuals. • Maintain controlled drug licenses and facility licenses as required. • Maintain professional liability insurance at levels sufficient to meet minimum requirements recommended by the AVMA. • Participate in and provide proof of continuing education requirements; participate in local/state veterinary associations. • Adhere to applicable state and federal laws governing the practice of veterinary medicine. • Be respectful of coworkers and treat both subordinate and superior staff in a professional manner. • Attend safety meetings and training. • Adhere to OSHA compliance policies & procedures. • Adhere to parameters of approved budget. • Participate in special events and perform other duties as required. • Maintain strict confidentiality on client, patient and donor information. • Establish and coordinate continuing education programs for subordinate staff. • Work with Clinic Manager/Director to create and distribute work schedules for subordinate staff. • Adhere to the highest ethical standards and provision of veterinary care in a safe, competent, professional and humane manner.

A chance to be a part of history!

On April 22, 2008, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), in partnership with the Charleston Animal Society, Pet Helpers and Humane Net, will launch “ASPCA® Mission: Orange TM ” in Charleston County, SC — a collaborative effort to create a “humane community” by curbing the needless euthanasia of adoptable pets through spay/neuter and adoption initiatives. The ASPCA Mission: Orange effort, which is taking place nationwide in partnership with select “target” communities — including Charleston County, the 2008 Target Community — will address the animals most at-risk (i.e. shelter animals) by including and collaborating with leading community agencies and organizations to implement proven strategies and tactics in striving toward a save rate at or above 75 percent for unwanted and abandoned animals entering shelters. This 3-year initiative will help Charleston County meet its goals in creating a more humane community for animals and strive to become the first community in the Deep South to save all adoptable animals. High quality, high volume spay/neuter programs are efficient surgical initiatives that meet or exceed current veterinary medical standards of care while providing accessible, targeted sterilization for large numbers of dogs and cats in order to reduce their overpopulation and subsequent euthanasia. Our new 31,000 sq. ft. animal care facility houses a state-of-the-art surgical clinic and will follow the Humane Alliance model. Join our team saving thousands of animals and become a part of history!

The National Animal Health Emergency Response Corps (NAHERC) started in 2001 protects public health by providing a ready reserve of private and State veterinarians and veterinarian technicians to combat threats to U.S. livestock and poultry in the event of a large outbreak of an exotic or foreign animal disease. NAHERC staff can be activated and supplement existing USDA-APHIS employees for periods of 3 weeks for domestic deployments or 30 days for international deployments.

Previously NAHERC was activated and responded to the 2001 UK FMD outbreak, the 2003 Newcastle outbreak in California and the 2002 LPAI in Virginia. When an animal health emergency occurs, an immediate response is necessary to protect both animals and people in support of the National Response Plan and Essential Support Function #11.

To qualify, NAHERC members must meet all qualification requirements at the time of application.

MINIMUM EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS:

Veterinary Medical Officer - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent degree, i.e., Veterinary Medical Doctor (VMD), obtained at a school or college of veterinary medicine accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education (AVMA). The AVMA web site, http://www.avma.org has a listing of all AVMA-accredited veterinary medical schools.

Animal Health Technician – Life experience and/or educational experience in the animal health field. Current veterinary students apply under AHT.
