  • Wash and sanitize dishes, laundry, and equipment, strictly separating human and animal items.

    • Medical & Technical Support

  • Assist veterinarians and technicians with exams, treatments, surgeries, and diagnostic procedures, including animal restraint, preparing surgical areas, and monitoring anesthesia under supervision.
  • Prepare and run laboratory tests (bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal tests) with appropriate sample handling and machine operation, following all safety and documentation protocols.
  • Fill medications and vaccines as directed, double-checking dosages and labels, and ensuring proper recordkeeping and client communication.

    • Client Service & Communication

  • Greet clients and patients, assist with check-in and weigh-ins, and gather relevant medical histories.
  • Answer phones, schedule appointments, and respond to emails in a professional, courteous manner, following hospital telephone and confidentiality protocols.
  • Document all client communications and medical updates in the patients chart.

    • Facility Operations

  • Complete daily, weekly, and end-of-day cleaning and organizational tasks as assigned (including laundry, trash removal, sweeping, mopping, and restocking supplies)
  • Participate in ongoing training and continuing education as required by the hospital, maintaining up-to-date knowledge of SOPs and best practices.
  • Adhere to all safety, hazard communication, and controlled substance handling policies.

    • Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent required; prior experience in animal care or veterinary settings preferred.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • Physical ability to lift up to 40 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform repetitive tasks.
  • Willingness to work weekends, evenings, and holidays as needed.
