Position Summary

To provide support to the Surgery Team, including gold standard nursing and comfort care to our surgical patients, with clear and effective client communication. This will be a very important accessory role to our surgery department and will include assisting with treatments and updating owners as requested.

This role will work under the direction of the Surgery RVTs with a primary focus on comfort care for surgical patients. Some cross-training and assisting in other departments may be required as requested.

Ability to safely and comfortably restrain a variety of species of animals for procedures such as blood collection, IV catheter placement, etc.
Have knowledge of biosecurity protocols
Other supportive tasks as deemed necessary

Background for Development and Importance of This Role

The need for this accessory role has risen due to the shortage of veterinary professionals. When examining the day-to-day work of registered veterinary professionals, we need to highlight what is in their scope of practice and place an emphasis of time on those activities for them. In a busy hospital, their medical expertise is prioritized, and the non-medical activities become less of a focus. Boreal Veterinary Centre feels that those “non-medical” activities are often under emphasized and strive to include non-registered support staff as an integral part of the medical care team to provide a gold standard of care.

Company Benefits

Joining the Boreal Veterinary Centre team means you'll enjoy an array of perks, including:

Personal pet discounts
Uniform allowance
Opportunities for growth and professional development
Employee assistance program through Sparrow
Health and dental benefits
Group discount rate to Goodlife Fitness
