Great Patient Care Starts With The People Willing To Do The Little Things Right

A comforting hand during an exam. A well-timed treat after a procedure. A patient ear for a worried pet owner. The extra set of hands that helps the day run smoothly.

At Grace Animal Hospital, our Veterinary Assistants are an essential part of the care team. They help create positive experiences for pets and their people while supporting doctors and technicians in delivering high-quality medicine every day. If you love working with animals, enjoy staying busy, and want to be part of a team that genuinely cares about one another, we'd love to meet you.

Grace Animal Hospital is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality veterinary care while building lasting relationships with the pets and families we serve. We believe great medicine requires great teamwork. That's why we've built a collaborative environment where team members support one another, continue learning, and take pride in making a difference for every patient who walks through our doors.

What You'll Help Make Possible

  • Positive experiences that help pets feel safe and comfortable during their visit
  • Smooth appointments and procedures that keep patient care moving efficiently
  • Exceptional support for doctors, technicians, and fellow team members
  • Clear communication that helps clients feel informed and confident
  • A clean, organized hospital that is ready to provide outstanding care each day
  • Strong relationships with the pets and families who trust us with their care

What We're Looking For

  • Part Time or Full-Time Veterinary Assistant
  • Passion for working with animals
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Ability to stay organized and work in a fast-paced environment
  • Dependable, positive attitude, and willingness to learn

Preferred

  • Previous veterinary assistant experience
  • Interest in growing within veterinary medicine
  • Familiarity with animal handling and restraint techniques

Schedule

  • Full-time
  • Day shift
  • 8-10 hour shifts
  • Rotating weekends

Compensation

$17.00-$21.00 per hour, based on skills and experience.

Benefits

  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Free virtual mental health services for your household (ages 13+)
  • Uniform allowance
  • Pet care discounts for your personal pets
  • PTO, floating holidays, parental leave, and military leave
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Access to Encore Vet Group's library of training, CE, and career development resources
  • 401(k) with up to 5% company match

Ready To Join Our Team?

The best Veterinary Assistants do more than support patient care.

They help create the experience that pets, clients, and teammates remember.

If you're looking for a place where you can learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact every day, we'd love to hear from you.
