Toronto, Canada Front Street Animal Hospital Full time

**Job Summary**

**Front Street Animal Hospital is looking for a full time Veterinary Assistant**

When pets come to Front Street Animal Hospital they have an entire entourage there to assist them through treatment and recovery. Veterinary assistants are the staff members who perform the smallest tasks and make the biggest difference.

Veterinary Assistants are responsible for assisting the veterinarian and veterinary technician in their daily duties which include but are not limited to animal restraint for exams, blood work, and vaccinations. You will be able to switch hats regularly to assist at the front desk with regular clerical duties such as POS transactions, booking appointments and handing off patient questions to the appropriate staff member. You have a dual responsibility to ensure the clinic remains clean, and welcoming to clients which may include tasks such as cleaning up after a patient’s bathroom break (whether it be intentional or accidental, a strong stomach is considered an asset), wiping down walls and routinely disinfecting the clinic.

**Responsibilities and Duties**

- Answering the phone.
- Scheduling appointments.
- Setting up for daily procedures.
- CLEANING POOP
- Assisting with surgery.
- Deep cleaning of the walls, doors and floor grout.
- Communicating with the doctor the needs of the pet as needed.
- Performing treatments under the direct supervision of the RVT or DVM.
- Restraining cats and dogs for their physical exam.

- Handling laboratory samples such as urine, blood and stool samples.
- Performing nail trims.
- CLEANING POOP
- Convey the value of preventative care measures to clients for procedures such as vaccines, routine dental cleanings, parasite prevention and annual blood work.

**Qualifications and Skills**

**This job might be for you if**:
You pay special attention to details, as far as you are concerned anything worth doing is worth doing right. Every single time.

You stay focused and can mange your time well.

You enjoy daily changes and welcome day to day challenges in the workplace that can test your knowledge from the day before.

You think on your feet and are not afraid to offer solutions, improvise and repeat when necessary.

Enjoy organizational tasks and keeping things neat and tidy.

Have a lot of patience working with patients who may not understand or appreciate your help (extra bonus points if you speak dog or cat fluently).

Not afraid to get dirty.

Enjoy the occasional slobbery kiss from a four-legged friend.

**How to join in on the fun (and poop)**

To join our team, we would love to see some previous experience in animal care, animal nursing or veterinary reception. Bonus points if you have completed an animal care program at the college level. Volunteer work at an animal shelter or a long-standing career in a customer service based position is also a plus.

Please also add a small blurb of why this job is perfect for you.

I look forward to working with you
