An Important Part of Animal Care

Veterinary medicine can be incredibly rewarding,



but it isn't always glamorous! You must be comfortable dealing with the messier side of animal care, including urine, feces, vomit, blood, and cleaning up the occasional unexpected accident.

We're Looking for Someone Who Is:

Reliable, compassionate, organized, and comfortable working in a busy environment. You should be a team player who communicates well, enjoys helping both animals and people, and isn't afraid to jump in and help when things get busy.

Because this position includes shifts with our reception team, solid communication and customer-service skills are important.

We offer a generous compensation package that includes uniforms, health and dental benefits, and a generous staff discount for you and your family members.

If you love animals, enjoy being part of a team, and are interested in learning more about veterinary medicine, we'd love to hear from you!
