About Coastal Vet
Coastal Vet is a boutique, full-service veterinary practice built around a concierge care model. We believe veterinary medicine is ready for a better experience — for pets, clients, and the people delivering the care. Our model allows us to see fewer pets so we can provide more personalized, comprehensive, and relationship-driven care. We focus on trust, access, communication, and creating an experience that feels thoughtful instead of rushed.
We are also deeply committed to building people. Whether you are early in your veterinary career or already experienced, we want team members who are eager to learn, grow, and take pride in excellent service. We invest in training, development, mentorship, and clear expectations so our team can continue advancing their skills and confidence.

In this role, you will support veterinarians and veterinary technicians in delivering exceptional care to pets while ensuring a smooth clinic operation. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment where your enthusiasm and dedication will make a real difference in the lives of pets and their owners.
