About the job
We are VCA Veterinary Care Animal Hospital & Referral Center , or just VCA Vet Care to our friends. We’re located 5,312 feet above sea level* in beautiful, fun, and (if you ask us) highly underrated Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our hospital is growing, so we would like to add a Veterinary Assistant to our team for our Internal Medicine Department .
Location: 8850 Holly Ave NE, Unit K, Albuquerque, NM 87122 Salary: $18 - 26 per hour Schedule: 4 days, 10-hour shifts
Our hospital has both primary care (a.k.a. GP) and specialty/ER services, including oncology, surgery, ophthalmology, cardiology, and internal medicine. It’s an amazing place to grow your career in veterinary patient care, since you’ll get hands-on experience with a huge variety of cases and have the opportunity to learn from many, many helpful and knowledgeable people. We have a supportive, highly involved tech manager team and an experienced group of techs in every department that you’ll be able to lean on from day one.
We will hire both credentialed technicians and on-the-job-trained veterinary assistant staff with appropriate levels of skill and knowledge. Eager to learn but short on experience? That’s cool too! We are 100% willing to train when we find folks who are a great fit with our culture.
Team member traits we are looking for:
- Ready and willing to function as part of a team
- Committed to self-improvement, personally and professionally
- Flexible, in terms of scheduling availability and in terms of taking what the day gives you
- Receptive to new responsibilities and different approaches
- Kind, respectful, food-motivated, and possessing an excellent sense of humor
You would be assisting with those procedures, monitoring any anesthetic procedures, helping with instrument cleaning and pack prep, maintaining cardiac equipment, plus all the normal veterinary medical support staff stuff- patient restraint, IVC placement, phlebotomy, post-surgical patient recovery, etc.
Benefits : We offer competitive compensation along with a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and paid vacation/sick days, 401(k), generous employee pet discounts, and more!
