Job description

Experienced Veterinary Assistant

We are looking for an Experienced Veterinary Assistant to join our VCA Urgent Care hospital in LA-Mar Vista! You just may find yourself rekindling your JOY for veterinary medicine in this well-designed, people-focused, high-tech hospital with an innovative approach to Urgent Care.

Our Technical team works in pairs to maximize efficiency while providing patient care. Utilizing a digital whiteboard, all diagnostics and treatments are clearly communicated allowing the medical team to complete cases quickly while keeping the doctor up to date on diagnostic results. An emphasis on low stress handling, hands free radiology, and a well organized treatment space allows you to keep the patients calm and safe during their visit. The virtual waiting room has a dynamic capacity analyzer that assesses the team's pace and updates clients on the wait time digitally. When the team reaches capacity for the day, the waiting room automatically closes. This allows all team members to leave on-time, with all medical records and patient care completed. The technician and assistant team only does patient care, no answering phones, presenting estimates, or checking out clients needed.

What You'll Do

  • Follow digital treatment plans prescribed by DVM
  • Obtain quality lab samples via venipuncture, cystocentesis, fecal collection, etc.
  • Perform in-hospital laboratory diagnostics including urinalysis, cytologies, etc.
  • Process lab samples utilizing in-hospital laboratory equipment
  • Use low stress patient handling techniques
  • Perform diagnostic radiographs (hands free as allowed)
  • Administer injections, medications, nursing care as directed by a veterinarian
  • Maintain accurate, complete digital medical records
  • Fill prescriptions (as allowed by law)
  • Maintain a clean work environment to include following any infectious disease protocols, handling medical/biomedical, and infectious waste appropriately

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of veterinary experience in a GP, UC or emergency setting
  • Ability to operate with a sense of urgency and high pace
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills
  • Willingness to jump in as needed
  • Able to work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
  • Comfortable asking for help and clarification when needed
  • Possess a high attention to detail

Schedule: Part-time/LOCUM positions available. Schedule is Friday-Monday.

Compensation: The pay range for this position is $22-26/hour. Compensation is negotiable based on education, experience, and other relevant credentials.

Location: 12108 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90066

Benefits

  • Paid vacation, sick time, and holiday pay
  • Free mental health sessions (Lyra) and wellness subscriptions (Head Space)
  • Referral bonuses
  • Medical, dental & vision insurance for you and your family
  • Health saving account, and Flexible spending account
  • Generous pet care discounts plus discounts on Mars, Royal Canin, and more
  • Life, short, and long-term disability insurance (company paid)
  • Paid parental leave for new parents
  • 401(k) (company match)
  • Opportunities for growth and leadership roles at VCA and Mars Veterinary Health
  • Dedicated onboarding and development support
  • Associate-led equity, inclusion, and diversity groups
  • Free Continuing Education through our online WoofU
