About this role
American Veterinary Group's urgent care clinic in Smithfield is looking for a part-time veterinary assistant to support after-hours care for dogs and cats. This role sits between routine daytime practice and full emergency services, handling common urgent cases like wounds, infections, and gastrointestinal issues in a paperless, digitally equipped facility. You'd be working in a fast-paced environment where you're expected to manage multiple tasks, handle animals with confidence, and communicate clearly with both team members and clients.
The position demands hands-on clinical skills—phlebotomy, catheter placement, lab work, and drug calculations—alongside practical animal handling and restraint. You'll also contribute to facility maintenance and client education. This is genuinely part-time with flexible scheduling that includes evenings, weekends, and holidays, and requires you to be physically present on-site and capable of lifting 40 pounds regularly. Prior experience in an animal hospital setting and customer service background are expected.
If you thrive in a team-oriented, varied clinical environment and want the flexibility of part-time work without sacrificing professional development, this role offers training, a scrub allowance, discounted veterinary care, and a 401k match. The work is demanding but suits someone with solid animal handling experience who's ready for the unpredictability of urgent care.
