Job Description
We are looking for a skilled Veterinary Assistant to join the team! You'll play an important role in bringing comfort to our furry patients and ensuring the smooth running of our facility. One of the most important Veterinary Assistant responsibilities is to ensure all areas are clean, for animals and humans alike. We'll rely on you to assist the Veterinarian in examinations and operations. Do you love animals? Then you're halfway there. You need the ability to care for them properly - that's one of the most important Vet Assistant job requirements. This includes knowledge of routine tasks, being able to work in a fast-paced work environment, remaining calm and composed in an emergency situation, readiness to care for injured or scared animals that might occasionally lash out, and supporting your team/doctor/patients/clients. If you're organized, quick on your feet and have the stomach to help with medical operations and urgent care cases, we'd like to meet you.
