This person needs to be able to handle tasks independently while also working closely as a team with the veterinarians and technicians. Main job duties will include sterile park and prep of surgical instruments, surgical prep, setup, and cleanup, assisting with daily appointment flow and patient handling, and fielding client communications. At least 1 year of relevant experience is preferred, and training is available for the right candidate.
