Bellevue Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital was established with one goal in mind: to be there for pets and their people. We know emergency visits aren't planned and navigating specialty care can be overwhelming. We are looking for dedicated team members to join our growing team and help us implement people-centric processes to create an environment where pets receive world class care and pet parents receive clarity and compassion at every step in the process. At Bellevue Veterinary Emergency + Specialty, we work hard to deliver unparalleled care, experiences for our patients and clients. Providing fulfilling careers and enabling healthy work-life harmony aren't talking points for us, they're part of who we are. We listen to our staff to understand what matters most, and work to ensure everyone has the support they need to thrive. We believe learning is a life-long commitment. Building our team, we require leaders who take the initiative to grow—and we help them do just that. Our goal is to help people be the best version of themselves. Interested in learning a new skill? Pursuing another credential? We're on your side, providing resources and support to help you fulfill your goals. Making a difference in the community and beyond. Our commitment to pets extends beyond our hospital walls. Our organization regularly implements charity drives across the nation to help support local shelters, and our team members have the opportunity to give back to communities around the globe through our partnership with World Vets. Each year, we send a group of doctors and support staff abroad to help pets in need and support programs that nurture healthy relationships between people and animals. In 2021, Lakefield team members were able to be a part of opening the first and only veterinary clinic in the Galapagos.
