Job description

Description

Our hospital is seeking a Veterinary Assistant to help provide outstanding patient care and client service in a fast-paced, multi-doctor animal hospital.
The Veterinary Assistant supports veterinarians by providing daily animal care, restraining patients during exams and treatment, cleaning, performing lab work, feeding, medicating, and walking patients. The assistant helps with stocking examination and surgery rooms with supplies, sterilizing tools and ensuring that equipment is in working order while maintaining a safe and clean working environment. Veterinary Assistants also communicate with clients (pet owners) and update patient files.
Applicants must demonstrate professionalism, dependability, healthy and positive communication skills, and the ability to multi-task. Our next team member will be an energetic people-and-pet person with excellent work ethic, and have social and organizational skills. Must be willing to work flexible hours including weekends.

Ideal Candidate

  • Will have an upbeat, friendly, and professional attitude
  • Be compassionate/caring
  • Can work individually, as well as on a team
  • Excellent communication skills, a sense of urgency, and working harmoniously with team mates is required
  • Prior experience preferred in outpatient and surgery
  • This position requires regular on-site presence as an essential function of the role. Due to the nature of veterinary hospital operations, in-person attendance is necessary to support patient care, respond to time-sensitive needs, collaborate with clinical teams, and maintain the safety and well-being of patients, clients, and staff. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities and will consider requests for reasonable accommodation in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and applicable laws.




Skills, Knowledge, & Expertise

  • Prior customer service and veterinary experience a must, surgical experience a plus
  • Basic computer skills
  • Must be able to lift 40 lbs.


Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision Options)
  • 401k Match
  • Generous paid time off (PTO)
  • Paid Parental Leave + Paid Maternity Leave
  • One (1) Work/Life Balance day off
  • Short-term and long-term disability options
