Mobile Veterinary Assistant
Okotoks, Alberta
Veterinary medicine... with a road trip.
At Vet Direct, we believe veterinary care should meet pets where they are most comfortable. Our fully equipped 26-foot mobile veterinary clinic allows us to provide such service with compassionate, high-quality care throughout our community while also operating a modern in-clinic practice in Okotoks.
We're looking for an energetic, compassionate, and reliable Mobile Veterinary Assistant who enjoys variety, loves working with animals, and is a confident driver.
If you like the idea of helping pets, supporting veterinarians, and spending part of your day on the road instead of behind the same four walls every day, this could be the perfect opportunity.

- Assisting our Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) with patient care, animal restraint, treatment preparation, and patient monitoring.
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming hospital environment.
- Supporting the entire veterinary team with daily operations and other duties as required.

We're seeking someone who is:
- Passionate about animal health and client care.
