Job Summary

As an Animal Care Attendant, you will play an important role in supporting the care and well-being of our patients in a fast-paced 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic.

Maintain cleanliness and organization throughout the clinic
Safely handle and restrain animals for examinations, treatments, and procedures
Support patients during their hospital stay to help reduce stress and improve comfort
Assist veterinary staff as needed in patient care and clinic operations
Follow established protocols for animal care, sanitation, and workplace safety

Qualifications & Skills

Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Attention to detail and ability to multitask
Comfortable handling dogs and cats of varying sizes and temperaments
Willingness to learn and follow clinic protocols and procedures

Please send your resume and cover letter to Jenn at [email protected] and indicate which of the three available positions you are most interested in applying for.
