For general descriptive purposes only, as actual job duties may vary and are subject to change due to changing business or patient needs, and may include other duties as needed:
- Full-time preferred, but willing to explore part-time options.
- Past experience in a veterinary or animal care setting preferred, but not required.
- Veterinary Assistants directly contribute to the health and well-being of patients. Whether serving as a second set of hands for the Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians, or working to assist to clients and our Front Desk staff, Veterinary Assistants play a key role in the day-to-day operations of a veterinary clinic. Accordingly, punctuality and reliability are essential.
- Veterinary Assistants serve as a second set of eyes for the Veterinarians and other staff. Emerging concerns regarding a patient's health may be noticed first by a Veterinary Assistant. Accordingly, Kennel Assistants must have keen detail orientation, work well both independently and under guidance, and demonstrate initiative in completing daily tasks. Following through on detailed instructions is also essential.
- Daily tasks include directly assisting the Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians during medical procedures and exams; administering medications (including via subcutaneous injection after training); preparing prescription medications and other supplies; frequently documenting patients' progress, care, and observations in electronic medical records software; preparing and analyzing lab samples and diagnostic tests; monitoring patients; transporting animals to and from kennels, exam rooms, the lobby, and clients' vehicles; assisting with kennel duties such as feeding and walking; assisting with pet grooming and bathing; sanitation and janitorial duties throughout the facility; informing the Veterinarians of suspected medical concerns; etc.
- Being on our team is fun and rewarding, but requires being a go-getter with tactful client communication skills and a high respect for patients, clients, and fellow team members. We greatly value a positive attitude, collaborative spirit, and impeccable ethics. And of course, a love for animals and veterinary medicine is essential!
