Job Description

Salary:

Imagine youre being invited to join a team of trailblazers shaping the future of veterinary care. Picture a dynamic, fast-growing organization where innovation and compassion are at the core of everything we do. Thats Truss Vet.

In just a few short years, weve gone from an idea to a thriving veterinary urgent care platform, and were not stopping anytime soon. With four successful clinics and a fifth on the horizon, were redefining how pets and their people experience care.

At Truss Vet, were on a mission to elevate the human-animal bond by removing barriers to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. Our urgent care clinics are tailored to pets with non-life-threatening issues that dont belong in the ER but cant wait for a regular vet visit. Think of us as the sweet spot between general practice and emergency care, a place where we deliver exceptional medical outcomes while ensuring a better quality of life for our team.

As a Veterinary Nurse at Truss Vet, you are critical to the functioning and success of our clinic. Your role touches almost every process in the hospital, helping ensure each is executed smoothly for the benefit of our team, clients, and patients. You help set the standard for team well-being by cultivating a fun, work-hard/play-hard team environment and interacting with your coworkers fairly and professionally as they (and you!) deserve to be treated. Your job will help us build one of the best clinics and places to work on earth. No pressure! :)

Truss Vet Core Values Statements:

• Dare to Care:Doing what is easy isnt always right. Doing what is right isnt always easy. So we show up. We give a sh!t. Even when clients dont deserve our best, even when a conversation is uncomfortable, we approach situations with courage, empathy, and authenticity. We care enough to have tough conversations and we handle tough conversations with care.
• The Details Matter:Our standards are reflected in every detail, and those details matter. The client will never forget the hug you gave when they said goodbye to their best friend. That blanket may mean the difference between an hour of comfort for a pet versus an hour of fear. The smell or site of a dirty rug may mean the difference between a great first impression versus skepticism of our entire team.
• Truss One Another:To be accountable to the success of the team means were accountable to the success of each other. We have our teammates backs. We catch each other's mistakes. We challenge each other to improve and be the best versions of ourselves.
• Bowl Half Full:Your dog doesnt go through life believing his bowl is half-empty. We see the good in others and in each other, we see opportunities in challenges, we meet discomfort with good humor, and when we find closed doors, we kick them open or make new ones.
