POSITION SUMMARY
Excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, hands-on clinical environment and takes pride in providing high-quality, compassionate care to animals and their people. The ideal candidate is confident in animal handling, comfortable with veterinary procedures, attentive to patient safety, and able to work collaboratively, but just as comfortable leading a vaccine clinic.

Position is between 24 and 32 hours per week.

Assisting veterinary staff with procedures while following established safety, sanitation, and patient-care protocols. Maintaining clean, organized, and well-stocked clinical and animal care areas.
