Are you a veterinary assistant with a passion for helping animals and keeping your cool when things get hectic? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment where your quick thinking can save the day? If you said "Yes!" (or even just "Heck yeah!"), we want YOU to join our crew!

At Puget Sound Veterinary Specialty & Emergency we're looking for a veterinary assistant who's ready to jump in with both paws-whether it's assisting in emergency treatments, comforting stressed-out pet parents, or making sure every treatment plan is executed perfectly.

You'll also be responsible for assessing an animal's temperament, ensuring safe handling and restraint, and multitasking like a pro in critical care situations. We need someone who stays calm, cool, and collected during high-stress moments. After all, that's what a true veterinary assistant does!

The Schedule :

We offer flexible shifts (because animals don't sleep), including Day, Swing, and Overnight options. Weekends are required, and you'll likely be working a variety of shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays. But don't worry, we promise there's never a dull moment, and you'll get to bond with ateam-orientedand compassionate crew who's all about having each other's backs.

You should have at least 1 year of experience as a veterinary assistant, with a solid understanding of veterinary medical terminology and emergency procedures. Being able to think quickly, assist in critical care situations, and communicate effectively with the team is a must. You should also be physically fit and able to handle lifting animals, standing for long periods, and performing repetitive tasks. But, most importantly, you need to bring your team-oriented spirit to work every day and be ready to collaborate with a dynamic crew that loves working together.

Why You'll Love It Here :

• Competitive salary of $18-25 / hr
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Personal Pet Discount (because who doesn't love a good deal for their furry friend?)
• CE Stipend for full-time team members
• A team-oriented atmosphere where you're never in it alone!

If you're looking for a place where you'll grow, make a difference, and never stop learning, then this is the job for you! Don't wait-your new role as a veterinary assistant is just a click away!

Join us and let's keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for-together!
