About this role
Sploot Veterinary Care is looking for a veterinary assistant to join their urgent care and general practice clinic in Salt Lake City. You'd support veterinarians and technicians with patient care, procedures, and clinic operations across a balanced mix of emergency and wellness cases. The role requires at least two years of veterinary assistant experience, though emergency or urgent care background is a bonus rather than a requirement. You'll need strong teamwork skills, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to animal welfare and client communication.
What sets this position apart is the deliberate focus on work-life balance and professional development. Shifts are 10–12 hours with flexible scheduling and a minimum six-week advance notice—no overnight rotations. Sploot emphasizes mentorship from experienced doctors and technicians, comprehensive training programs, and a collaborative culture. The clinic uses modern tools including laparoscopic surgery and AI scribe software, so you'd work with current technology rather than outdated systems.
The compensation package is competitive for the role: $20–$24 per hour plus holiday pay, with semi-annual reviews for raises and promotion opportunities. Benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage with strong employer contribution, 401(k) matching up to 4%, PTO accrual starting immediately, paid parental leave, and notably, full reimbursement for passing the VTNE if you're considering advancing to a technician role. Employee pet benefits and free FIGS scrubs round out the offer. This role would suit someone with solid veterinary assistant experience who values stability, mentorship, and a workplace that prioritizes both team welfare and animal care.
