About this role
Sploot Veterinary Care in Denver is looking for a Veterinary Assistant to join an urgent care and general practice clinic that explicitly prioritizes work-life balance and team support. The role involves client communication, procedural assistance with doctors and technicians, patient handling, and maintaining clinic operations—a mix of urgent and wellness cases that keeps the work varied. You'll need at least two years of veterinary assistant experience, though emergency or urgent care background is a bonus rather than a requirement. The clinic values team players who are organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in animal care.
What sets this position apart is the scheduling structure: 10–12 hour shifts with flexible day combinations, no overnight work, and schedules posted six weeks in advance. The compensation runs $20–$24 per hour with holiday pay, and Sploot backs that up with genuine mentorship, personalized training, and access to modern equipment including a laparoscopic surgery suite and AI scribe software. The benefits package is substantial—health, dental, and vision coverage with strong employer contribution, 401(k) matching up to 4%, PTO from day one, paid parental leave, and notably, free or discounted veterinary care for your own pets plus full reimbursement if you pass the VTNE.
This role would suit someone burned out by chaotic schedules or unsupportive environments who wants stability, clear advancement pathways through semi-annual reviews, and a workplace that acknowledges both professional and personal well-being.
