Full time
Scarborough Animal Hospital is seeking a Veterinary Assistant to join our team! This is a full-time position with a four- or five-day workweek which may include occasional Saturdays. The ideal candidate will be seeking full-time hours, however, qualified candidates seeking part-time hours will also be considered.
We are a four-doctor AAHA-accredited hospital with 14 employees. In addition to seeing many cats and dogs, we have a strong interest in exotic animal health and are actively growing our small mammal business. Most of the exotics we see are rabbits and guinea pigs, but we also see rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, chinchillas and sugar gliders. We have a well-appointed in-house lab with IDEXX equipment including Catalyst, ProCyte and Sedivue, as well as an IDEXX digital radiography system. Our assistants have a rotating schedule, so they rotate between working in reception, working in lab and pharmacy, and working in surgery. This provides great cross-training opportunities. More information about us can be found on our website, www.scarboroughanimalhospital.com .
The ideal candidate possesses a minimum of two years of experience in a hands-on role at a veterinary hospital and would be proficient in technical skills including restraint, venipuncture, laboratory testing, radiographic positioning, surgical intubation and monitoring. A commitment to outstanding customer service is equally important.
Benefits for full-time employees include employer-paid medical, life and disability insurance, paid vacation/sick/holiday time, deeply discounted veterinary care for personal pets, and an employer-matched IRA plan.
