Totalbond Veterinary Hospital's Riverbend location is seeking an Urgent Care Veterinary Assistant to support their veterinarians and technicians in a fast-paced clinic environment. You'll work evening and overnight shifts (Monday and Wednesday 3PM–10PM, plus Saturday 10PM–8AM) handling the hands-on work that keeps the hospital running: assisting with exams and surgeries, safely restraining and caring for animals, preparing sterile surgical and exam spaces, collecting diagnostic samples, and maintaining detailed medical records. The role also includes direct communication with pet owners about care and treatment plans, as well as general clinic maintenance and supply management.
This position is best suited for someone with prior veterinary experience who is comfortable with the technical side of animal care—disinfection protocols, medication administration, and diagnostic equipment—and who has the physical capability to handle animals safely.
