About this role
Rivers Edge Animal Hospital, part of Veterinary Practice Partners, is looking for a part-time Veterinary Assistant to support their team in Rock Hill. The role involves hands-on work during examinations, treatments, and surgeries—handling and restraining animals, preparing sterile environments, collecting diagnostic samples, and administering medications under veterinary supervision. You'll also manage routine animal care like feeding and exercise, maintain medical records, communicate with pet owners about their care, and keep the clinic clean and well-stocked.
This position suits someone with prior veterinary experience who is comfortable with the technical side of the work: disinfection protocols, medication administration, and diagnostic equipment. You need to be physically capable of safely handling animals and detail-oriented enough to maintain accurate records and sterile conditions. The schedule varies across their extended hours (Monday 10am–10pm, Tuesday–Friday 7:45am–6pm, and rotating Saturdays), so flexibility is essential.
The salary ranges from $18 to $25 per hour based on your skills and experience. Full-time employees receive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401K, and paid time off; part-time staff get an employee pet discount and access to professional development opportunities. Rivers Edge is a newer facility (founded 2021) with modern equipment including a surgical laser and digital dental x-rays, so you'd be working in a well-resourced environment.
