Veterinary Assistant (Roomer)

Sactown Vet is a newer, full-service small animal hospital located in the heart of Midtown. We are looking for a veterinary assistant to serve as the left hand for one of our awesome doctors. A Sactown Vet Assistant is responsible for keeping the easily-distracted veterinarian on task (how many times do you have to tell a vet that the labwork needs to be reviewed before they actually do it?). Additionally, the assistant will need to:

• maintain patient records
• create estimates
• fill medications
• ensure patient flow through the hospital is smooth
• assist in completion of consent forms for anesthesia and drop-off appointments
• communicate veterinarian recommendations effectively to clients
• assist with technical skills (venipuncture, restraint for radiographs, etc)

Additionally, the assistant must be able to multi-task, be efficient, maintain excellent communication with both other team members and clients, and have initiative (you are managing a veterinarian after all!).

We’re a team-oriented hospital with no tolerance for gossip.

The hospital is AAHA accredited, fear-free certified and a cat-friendly certified space, so the right candidate will know (or be open to learning) how to maintain a calm, low-stress environment for pets.

Benefits include weekends off, vacation time, health insurance, retirement, snacks (this is probably the best benefit, huh?), and being close to so many fun places! Apply if you want to work where you can walk to Philz coffee in the morning (oh, and also if you also want to join our super cool team).
