Job Description

Creekside Animal Hospital is looking for a Veterinary Assistant!

Do you love animals, enjoy being part of a team, and want to get hands-on experience in veterinary medicine? We’d love to meet you!

We’re looking for a compassionate, dependable, and energetic Veterinary Assistant to join our team and help keep our patients happy, healthy, and comfortable. This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in building a career in veterinary medicine, students at Ross Medical Education Center in Chesterfield, or anyone currently pursuing veterinary education, are especially encouraged to apply!

What You’ll Be Doing 

• Helping care for our patients: feeding, comforting, monitoring them
• Assisting our veterinarians and technicians with exams and treatments
• Helping with patient restraint and handling
• Caring for patients before and after procedures and surgery
• Keeping kennels, treatment areas, and exam rooms clean, organized, and ready to go
• Preparing supplies and surgical areas and helping with sterilization
• Greeting clients and their pets with a friendly smile
• Pitching in wherever needed to keep the hospital running smoothly

What We’re Looking For 

You don’t have to know everything,  we can teach you! We’re looking for someone who is:

• Comfortable around dogs, cats, and animals of all sizes and personalities
• Compassionate, patient, and genuinely cares about animal well-being
• A team player who communicates well
• Dependable and willing to learn
• Detail-oriented and able to follow instructions
• Comfortable with a physical, hands-on job (including lifting up to 50 lbs.)

Previous animal or veterinary experience is a plus, but a great attitude and willingness to learn go a long way.

Why You’ll Love It Here 

This isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to learn, grow, and be part of a team that makes a difference in the lives of pets and their people every day.

If you’re currently in school for veterinary assisting or planning a career working with animals, this could be a great place to gain real-world experience and put what you’re learning into practice.

Ready to join the Creekside crew? We’d love to meet you!
