Full-Time Experienced Veterinary Assistant

Come work for a family-oriented, private veterinary practice!

We are looking for an experienced veterinary assistant to join us! We are a private small animal veterinary (only dogs and cats) practice in Fairfax, Virginia with 7 doctors. We have a new state-of-the-art hospital.

Our work atmosphere is generally calm and relaxed and we all get along great. We enjoy what we do and like to laugh and have fun and are looking for someone that wants to work hard and play hard with us. Our team can be found playing pranks on each other, hanging out outside of work and sending funny memes on our slack channels.

We are team-oriented and cross-trained so everybody can help everyone! We all answer phones, talk to clients, respond to emails and help each other out depending on the needs of the day. We take pride in our family and low-stress atmosphere and our ability to practice quality medicine.

The work-life balance at MVP is awesome! We work 4, 10-hour shifts and alternate Saturdays (you will work 1-2 Saturdays a month on average). We do not over book our doctors so when your shift is over, you are out the door! It helps that our doctors are salaries and not production-based so they are not incentivized to squeeze everything in :)

In a given day, an assistant at MVP will go in with appointments to get a history and TPR for the doctor and then assist and perform any treatments needed. We pride ourselves in teaching assistants how to perform treatments so that they can continue to grow and learn. We also recently launched training classes so that you can assist with surgeries, monitoring and dental cleanings.

We offer great benefits (100% health, 100% dental, 401k, great PTO, bonuses) and have a great work-life balance (we close at 6pm!).

Must have at least 3 years of experience in small animal medicine -- Please do not apply if you do not meet this as you will not be considered.

Please include a little about yourself and why you think you would be the perfect fit for us including your technical abilities. **If you do not include this, you will not be considered**
