•    Keep exam and treatment areas fully stocked with necessary supplies
•    Assist with medication dispensing and ensure accurate patient records
•    Support technicians in prepping patients for surgery, imaging, and diagnostics
•    Stand, walk, and move throughout the hospital for extended periods; lift and carry up to 50 lbs
•    Work safely around anesthesia, radiation, and potential exposure to infectious diseases

 

Our Veterinary Assistants Have:

•    Previous experience in animal care or veterinary setting (preferred)
•    A compassionate, team-first attitude and strong communication skills
•    Ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
