Veterinary Assistant

Job Summary: Join Our Veterinary Team!
We are looking for a compassionate, hardworking Veterinary Assistant to join our privately owned veterinary practice. At our clinic, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, supportive environment for all team members.

Every team member plays an important role in helping us provide personalized, high quality care to our patients.

As a Veterinary Assistant, you will work alongside veterinarians and technicians in a fast paced but rewarding environment where no two days are ever the same.

• Maintain cleanliness and organization throughout the clinic and treatment areas
• Care for hospitalized and boarding pets by monitoring comfort, cleanliness, and behavior
• Help keep inventory stocked and organized for daily clinic operations

Experience

• Experience working in a veterinary clinic or animal shelter setting
• Knowledge of veterinary terminology, anatomy, physiology, and basic laboratory procedures is advantageous but not necessarily required
• Familiarity with front desk operations such as scheduling or client communication enhances your fit for this role
• Hands-on experience with pet care tasks including dog handling, and proper animal restraint techniques
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a team environment while maintaining attention to detail in a fast-paced setting
