Veterinary Assistant

We are looking for an experienced person who genuinely loves animals and wants to be part of the care they receive every single day, from the moment they arrive to the moment they go home feeling better.

We are an independently owned, small animal hospital which opened this September in the Comox Valley. We have a wonderful foundation team and are looking to add another member to our family. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, communicate with empathy and clarity, and want to grow with a clinic that's doing things differently, we’d love to hear from you.

- Vacation: 2 weeks of paid vacation to enjoy Vancouver Island life.
- Community: 3 paid days annually to volunteer for local causes you care about.
- Built-In Rest: We close for all Stat holidays, a full week in the summer, and the week between Christmas and New Year’s.




- Health & Culture: Extended health and dental benefits and a professional, family-owned environment with no corporate red tape.
