About this role
Veterinary Practice Partners is seeking an Urgent Care Veterinary Assistant for their Charlotte-area facility, a role that combines hands-on animal care with clinical support in a fast-paced urgent care environment. You'll work alongside veterinarians and technicians during examinations, treatments, and surgeries, handling animal restraint, preparing surgical areas, collecting diagnostic samples, and administering medications under veterinary supervision. The position also involves routine animal care—feeding, bathing, exercise—alongside maintaining medical records, communicating with pet owners about treatment plans, and keeping the clinic clean and well-stocked.
This is a full-time position with a specific schedule: Monday and Wednesday evenings (3 PM–10 PM) and Saturday overnights (10 PM–8 AM). The role requires prior veterinary experience and demonstrated competency with disinfection, medication administration, and diagnostic equipment, along with the physical capability to safely handle animals. You'll earn $22–$24 per hour based on experience, with benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, paid holidays, and an employee pet discount.
The role suits someone who thrives in urgent care settings and wants direct involvement in animal treatment rather than purely administrative work. If you have veterinary background and can commit to the evening and overnight schedule, this is a concrete opportunity to contribute to a full-service animal hospital serving the greater Charlotte area.
