At Banks Veterinary Service, we pride ourselves on a proud multi-generational legacy of providing trusted care to companion pets, farm animals, and livestock. We are looking for an Veterinary Assistant with at least 1 year working in a veterinary hospital, who wants to roll up their sleeves, support our veterinarians, and provide high-quality, hands-on patient care in a collaborative environment.
Why Join the Banks Veterinary Team?
We are a privately owned, mixed-animal practice where neighborly care is our way of life. We don’t do "corporate speak"—we do real, honest medicine. In this role, you aren’t just a pair of extra hands; you are a vital member of our clinical team, helping our doctors provide comprehensive, guilt-free care for everything from house pets to farm livestock.

- Medical Liaison: Help our team maintain precise medical records and translate clinical plans into actionable care for our clients.
- Team Player: Work proactively with our DVMs and support staff to keep the hospital running smoothly, whether in the clinic or out on the farm.
Who You Are:
- Experienced: You have at least a year of experience working in a veterinary hospital Veterinary Assistant (VA). You know the flow of a clinic and feel comfortable in a fast-paced environment. Farm call experience is not required.
- Reliable & Proactive: You show up on-time, take ownership of your tasks, stay two steps ahead of the doctor, and prioritize patient well-being above all else.
- Adaptable: You are comfortable working with and learning about animals of all species, shapes and sizes.
- Professional yet Approachable: You value open communication, integrity, and being a genuine, supportive teammate.
- Growth-Minded: You appreciate a practice that embraces modern technology and advanced medicine to provide the best care possible. You know what you don't know, ask questions, and have a passion for always learning more.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Pay: $22.00 – $24.00 per hour (possibly more with extensive experience).
- Benefits: A strong comprehensive package.
- Balance: A supportive, team-oriented environment where your work-life balance and mental well-being matter.
