Experienced Veterinary Assistant Wanted!

  • ?Hands-on skills: Whether it’s prepping vaccines, drawing blood, placing an IV catheter, taking radiographs or cleaning a room in between appointments - you’re comfortable in a vet hospital. Need some further training in these areas? We can help!
  • ❤️Passion for animals: You must love pets of course! From playful puppies to sassy cats, and wiggly weasels. We see dogs, cats, and small mammals. We love them all!
  • ?‍♂️ Team spirit: We work hard, we know our purpose, and we have a lot of fun along the way. We hold each other accountable and participate in a kind, strong, and collaborative culture. We are better as one.
  • ?Quick thinker: Veterinary assistants are always on their toes. You’ll need to adapt to fluid situations and prioritize your tasks.
