Job Description

Lavitt Animal Hospital is looking for a great, local Veterinary Assistant who not only has a love of patients but can also communicate clearly and compassionately with pet owners about their pets’ care.

 

Primary responsibilities include: 

  • Providing effective, minimal-stress handling and restraint.

If you like to challenge yourself to learn new things, grow your skillset, and share your passion for excellent pet care, you may make a great Veterinary Assistant.

 

Veterinary medicine is as much about the pet owners' experience as it is about the pets - as such, effective communication skills and a desire to provide great customer service are a must!

  • Preference for experience and/or candidates currently enrolled in a veterinary technician training program.


Job Type:
This position opening is for a full-time Assistant, ~35 hours per week. Will consider part-time for the right candidate.
