What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Assistant or Certified Veterinary Technician position at Gulley Park Pets Clinic?
Are you the type who thrives in a fast-paced environment, doesn’t flinch at a little (okay, a lot of) fur, and thinks helping animals is literally the best job ever? Then you might be our next CVT or Veterinary Assistant!
We’re a small-but-mighty two-doctor clinic with a love for teamwork, clean clinics, and well-cared-for critters—and we’re on the lookout for a reliable, energetic VA who’s not afraid to get their paws dirty.
About You:
- You can lift 50 lbs, juggle three tasks, and charm a nervous Chihuahua—all before 9am.
- You’re the kind of person who says, “I’ve got it!” before anyone even asks.
- You’re cool under pressure, kind to clients, and quick to help teammates.
- You take pride in a clean exam room and a smooth-running shift.
- You can handle fecal matter, blood, and urine without losing your lunch (or your sense of humor).
What You’ll Be Doing:
Every day is different—but here’s a peek at what your days might include:
- Assisting doctors with exams, treatments, and surgeries
- Drawing blood, placing IV catheters, giving meds, and monitoring anesthesia
- Helping restrain patients (even the feisty ones )
- Prepping surgical packs and maintaining sterile fields
- Keeping our clinic tidy, stocked, and looking sharp
- Making sure patients are comfy and clients feel heard
- Writing up records and supporting communication between coworkers, clients, and doctors.
Bonus Points If You:
- Have previous vet med experience (but not a dealbreaker!)
- Love learning new skills and teaching others
- Can bend, kneel, lift, and stand for long periods (aka “vet tech yoga”)
- Are a low-drama, high-effort, always-ready-to-help kind of human
Schedule & Hours:
- Full-time
- Overtime is rare, but possible
- We work hard, we move fast, and we laugh a lot
