Job description

Veterinary Assistant Wanted – Join Our Animal-Loving Team!

Do you speak fluent dog, understand catitude, and thrive in a client-focused clinic environment? If you have hands‑on veterinary assistant experience and a passion for exceptional patient care, we want to meet you!

About The Role

As a Veterinary Assistant, you’ll be a vital part of our medical team, supporting veterinarians and RVTs while delivering compassionate care to our furry patients and their parents.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Assisting with patient handling, restraint, and comfort.
  • Supporting exams, diagnostics, treatments, and procedures.
  • Preparing exam rooms, cleaning and sterilizing equipment.
  • Monitoring patients before and after procedures.
  • Helping maintain a smooth-running hospital (yes, teamwork makes the dream work!).
  • Providing friendly, professional support to our clients.
  • Answering calls, scheduling appointments and maintaining medical records.

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience as a Veterinary Assistant (required)
  • Previous experience with reception duties and using Avimark.
  • Confidence handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments.
  • Strong work ethic, positive attitude, and sense of humour.
  • Ability to multitask, excellent communication and teamwork skills.

  • Ability to meet the physical demands of the job. Work requires lifting, carrying and restraining animals (will be assisted by other staff members in lifting animals over 40 lbs.). Should be able to lift 40lbs on own.
  • Walks or stands for extended periods or time; frequently works in a bent or squatting position.
  • A genuine love for animal care and client service.
  • Why You’ll Love Working With Us

  • Supportive, fun, and collaborative team.
  • Opportunities to learn, grow, and expand your skills.
  • A workplace that values kindness, respect, and laughter.
  • Every day is different—and never boring!
  • If you’re experienced, compassionate, and ready to be part of a clinic that truly cares about its patients and its people, we’d love to hear from you!

    Apply today and tell us why you’d be a great fit!
