- Prepare surgical and exam rooms, including sterilization of instruments and equipment
- Observe and report signs of illness, distress, or abnormal behavior
- Keep exam and treatment areas fully stocked with necessary supplies
- Assist with medication dispensing and ensure accurate patient records
- Support technicians in prepping patients for surgery, imaging, and diagnostics
- Stand, walk, and move throughout the hospital for extended periods; lift and carry up to 50 lbs
- Work safely around anesthesia, radiation, and potential exposure to infectious diseases
Our Veterinary Assistants Have :
- Previous experience in animal care or veterinary setting (preferred)
- A compassionate, team-first attitude and strong communication skills
- Ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
- A proactive mindset with a desire to learn and grow professionally
What We Offer:
- Comprehensive Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision insurance to keep you and your family well—plus flexible spending options and disability coverage
- 401(k) with a Company Match: A retirement plan that helps you plan ahead, with matching contributions to support your long-term goals
- Generous Paid Time Off: Paid holidays, vacation days, and personal time to help you recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance
- Employee Discounts: Significant savings on veterinary care and products for your own pets at any GoodVets location
- A Culture that Values You: Join a team that leads with empathy, prioritizes collaboration, and celebrates each other’s wins—big and small
