Veterinary Assistant

At PetMedic Urgent Care Vet Clinic, we believe veterinary medicine can be both high-quality and human. Our team is made up of experienced urgent care and emergency professionals who are passionate about patient care, teamwork, and creating a positive workplace culture. We work hard, support each other, laugh often, and genuinely care about the people beside us. We are currently seeking a Veterinary Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys hands-on patient care, and wants to continue growing their skills alongside an experienced medical team. Schedule Our full-time team members enjoy a predictable rotating schedule that allows for consistency both inside and outside of work. Because the rotation stays the same, team members are able to plan ahead for vacations, appointments, family time, concerts, weddings, or simply having time to recharge without constantly wondering what their schedule will look like month to month. We also provide a tentative yearly schedule to make long-term planning easier.
