Full Job Description

We are looking for a Veterinary Assistant to care for animals and support Veterinarians.

You need the ability to care for them properly – that’s one of the most important Vet Assistant job requirements. This includes knowledge of routine tasks, like feeding or bathing animals, but also readiness to care for injured or scared animals that might occasionally lash out.

Keep accurate records and logs
Reassure clients that their pets are being cared for and explain issues (e.g. lack of appointments, insurance matters)
Advise pet owners on nutrition and healthcare
