Tired of corporate practice or workplace turmoil? Seeking a healthier work environment within an intimate, boutique, specialty practice where you will be challenged to learn, utilize your strengths, and be heard? We may be a great fit for you!

Hudson Valley Veterinary Dermatology is a privately owned practice with an innovative business model focused on compassionate and comprehensive care. We achieve this by practicing gentle handling and Fear Free techniques (whipped cream anyone?!) and providing more time and individualized attention to our patients and the people that love them. We strive to preserve the human-animal bond by relieving pets from uncomfortable and often debilitating skin and ear diseases. Dermatology is a very rewarding specialty – most of our patients look and smell much better after treatment! Our clientele is generally very dedicated and compliant. We also do not see emergencies or walk-ins, work weekends, or provide end of life care.

What we desire from you:

• Experienced veterinary assistant (2 years minimum) with a friendly, positive, and compassionate demeanor
• Detail oriented, patient, compassionate team member with excellent communication, strong technical and typing skills (40 WPM) and an eagerness to learn and grow within the field of dermatology
• Able to perform moderately physically demanding work, that requires lifting (up to 50 pounds), cleaning, and near constant motion
• Ability to work with or around sick animals, potentially hazardous materials, cleaning chemicals, gas anesthetics, zoonotic diseases, and unpleasant odors
• Must be willing to have a background check and be drug tested if requested, as we are a drug and smoke free workplace
• Must love cleaning ears and tolerate baby talk to patients and most importantly connecting with pets and people!

What to expect from us:

• All the training and support that you need to feel confident and succeed in the collection of a history, preparation of skin and ear samples, calculation of drug dosages, learning medical terminology and transcription, educating clients, assisting in procedures, and more!
• A culture of work-life well-being, respect, recognition, and professional development
• Approachability, accountability, frequent communication, feedback, and regular evaluations
