About this role
Modern Animal is hiring a Veterinary Assistant in Phoenix who will work across general practice and dental procedures, drawing on at least two years of prior tech experience or related background. You'll be expected to deliver hands-on clinical care while building genuine relationships with clients and colleagues—the role emphasizes empathy and integrity as much as technical competence. If dental work isn't already in your wheelhouse, the clinic is open to supporting your growth there.
The position is full-time and in-office. Beyond standard veterinary assistant duties, you're being asked to help shape the clinic culture itself, which Modern Animal describes as a deliberate effort to make veterinary medicine more equitable and human-centered. The company backs this up with comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, and mental health coverage; a 401(k) match; paid parental leave; continuing education funding that increases over time; and clear pathways for career development. This role would suit someone who wants to do solid clinical work in a team environment that actively values curiosity and integrity, and who's drawn to a workplace that's intentionally rethinking how veterinary clinics operate.
