PERMANENT, FULL-TIME CAREER AT TORONTO'S BEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL (Not accpeting summer positions at this time)

Do you love interacting with pets and making them feel comfortable
and safe? Do you look at veterinary technicians and veterinarians
and see inspiring heroes that you want to support and learn from?
Could you see yourself as the person who ensures our pet owners,
doctors and technicians have the help they need in order to give our
patients excellent care? Do you believe that if it’s worth doing, it’s
worth doing right? Are you the kind of person that feels a great
sense of accomplishment by crossing off to-dos on your list?

At Dundas West Animal Hospital we fully rely on every team
member in order to make a difference in the lives of the patients we
serve and the team who serves them. We are “team-centric” at our
core. Organized, caring, communicative, accountable and
compassionate people make up our Veterinary Assisting Team and
we’re looking for more of these vital sidekicks in order to fuel our
expanding team. We are hiring all of the roles listed below...

Our assistants have a variety of roles throughout the hospital, depending
on their strengths and career goals. Some assistants have a keen interest
in the complex duties of the surgical department, others prefer the hustle
and bustle of an ever-evolving day of patient treatments, and others are
drawn to hospital maintenance and inventory control.
The common thread in all of these roles is that you learn new things each day
and will be inspired by our doctors and veterinary technicians as they teach
you to restrain patients using Fear Free and Hands Free X-ray methods, how
to send out and run laboratory tests and prepare prescriptions in our busy
pharmacy. Your day will fly by, you will be challenged, have fun and will go
home on time and proud of the work we all do together.

The Vet Assisting role is designed for someone with great attention to detail, is not afraid of hard work and who enjoys interacting with new people. You must be reliable and highly skilled at listening, prioritizing and following through on assigned duties in an efficient manner. Your time will be split between both the dog and the cat hospital. 1-2 years of veterinary hospital experience is essential, as these are not entry-level positions.
