About this role
American Veterinary Group's UrgentVet clinic in St. Petersburg operates after-hours urgent care for dogs and cats, handling cases like wounds, infections, and digestive issues in a fully digital, equipment-rich environment. As a Part-Time Senior Veterinary Assistant, you'd work evenings, weekends, and holidays in a fast-paced setting, managing animal handling, phlebotomy, catheter placement, lab work, and patient monitoring alongside facility upkeep and client education. The role demands physical capability (lifting 40 lbs regularly), strong communication, and the ability to multitask under pressure while supporting both the clinical team and patients.
This position suits someone with prior hospital veterinary experience and customer service background who thrives in hands-on environments and wants flexibility through part-time work. You'd take on a senior assistant role with leadership responsibilities, contributing to a paperless clinic equipped with digital x-ray and IDEXX lab systems. The company offers 401k matching, discounted vet care, scrub allowance, and professional development opportunities, though the essential in-office requirement means remote work is not an option.
