What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinary Assistant position at Pinehurst Veterinary Hospital?
Our small animal practice in Lacey, WA is seeking a dedicated Veterinary Assistant to join our team. We are a dog and cat exclusive hospital with strong foundations in excellent medicine, up-to-date technology, and a culture rooted in education.
Who We Are
We are primarily a General Practice with extensive surgical capabilities and the ability to provide urgent care services to our community. We’ve built our hospital around high standards—not only in medicine, but also in teamwork, communication, and compassion.
We expect a lot from ourselves and each other because we believe in creating:
- A supportive and inclusive environment
- A culture that builds on individual strengths
- Opportunities for growth and continuing education
- Open dialogue and curiosity
- Genuine compassion for patients, clients, and teammates
What We’re Looking For
Experience in general practice, surgery support, and/or urgent care is preferred. However, we are open to less experienced candidates who bring:
- A passion for a true team approach
- A strong desire to learn and expand their skills
- An open-minded and adaptable outlook
- Strong communication and client connection skills
- A willingness to support patient care through restraint, nursing care, diagnostics, and hospital organization
We firmly believe technical skills can be taught and refined, but “people skills” come from within.
If you’re looking to join a practice that values high-quality medicine, collaboration, and personal growth, we’d love to hear from you!
