Veterinary Assistant

Mission Pet Health

Veterinary Assistant Position

The Boston Veterinary Clinic in Bay Village is where high-quality medicine meets a culture of dedicated care. You are joining a highly respected network of clinics in Boston, recognized by the community with an excellent 4.6-star Google rating. Our commitment to the highest standard of practice is reflected in our adherence to AAHA guidelines, and our dedication to patient comfort is seen through our certifications as a Cat Friendly Practice and Fear Free Certified clinic. When you join our practice, you become part of a larger team dedicated to helping you succeed and do your best work every day. As a valued teammate, you will benefit from the robust support structure provided by the greater Boston Veterinary Clinic network. This expansive network, which includes sister locations in Seaport, Brookline, and Charlestown, ensures that all teammates have access to shared patient records, collective medical knowledge, and peer support. We pride ourselves on offering comprehensive and advanced medical care right here in the heart of Boston. Our facility is equipped to handle complex cases, offering specialized services that include advanced diagnostics, sick and urgent pet care, and extensive soft tissue surgery and dentistry. You will practice medicine at the highest standard, supported by the cutting-edge information provided through our adherence to AAHA protocols. Our focus is always on providing complete care, ensuring pets and their families receive compassionate attention from their earliest puppy or kitten stages through advanced medical interventions. Practicing in Bay Village means working in one of Boston's most historic and centrally located neighborhoods. You will find yourself steps away from iconic Boston attractions, world-class dining, and easy access to public transportation, making your commute simple and your off-hours exciting. This vibrant urban setting offers the perfect balance of professional stimulation and metropolitan culture. When your shift ends, the entire city of Boston, Massachusetts, is ready for you to explore, offering unparalleled opportunities for lifestyle and connection.

  • Create a Positive Client Experience: You'll help create a seamless visit for our clients by assisting with scheduling, payments, and communications, always with a courteous and informative approach.
  • Ensure a Safe and Clean Environment: You'll take pride in maintaining the hospital, performing clinic upkeep and equipment maintenance to uphold our high standards of care.

What You'll Bring to the Team

  • A High School Diploma or equivalent.
  • A calm and efficient approach, with the ability to handle a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment with composure.
  • Confidence and skill in handling pets of all sizes and temperaments.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Proficiency in fundamental veterinary skills ranging from laboratory and pharmacy to nursing and radiology is a strong asset.
