Clinic Support Assistant (full-time, temporary)

Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region | Colorado Springs, CO

Behind every healthy animal is a clean, safe place to heal.

At the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR), saving lives isn't just the responsibility of veterinarians and animal care staff. It takes an entire team working together - including the people who make sure every kennel, surgery area, treatment room, and patient space is spotless, sanitized, and ready for the next animal in need.

If you take pride in creating clean, organized spaces, enjoy staying active throughout the day, and want your work to have a meaningful impact on animals and the people who care for them, we'd love to meet you.

Our Mission

HSPPR offers compassionate care to animals, supports safe communities, and provides socially conscious sheltering.

As a Clinic Support Assistant, you'll play an essential role in helping us deliver on that mission every single day.

What You'll Do

• Cleaning and disinfecting veterinary treatment areas, surgery spaces, patient care areas, foster care spaces, and animal kennels
• Maintaining the highest standards of sanitation to help prevent the spread of disease
• Keeping exam rooms, supplies, and equipment clean, organized, and ready for use
• Preparing food and fresh water for animals in veterinary care while following shelter protocols
• Washing dishes, laundry, and assisting with special cleaning projects
• Making surgical packs and disinfecting tools and equipment
• Removing trash and recycling throughout the day
• Working closely with the veterinary team to ensure clinic spaces are safe, stocked, and ready to support lifesaving care
• Helping tell HSPPR's story by sharing special animal moments with our Philanthropy team whenever possible

We're Looking for Someone Who...

• Takes pride in a job well done
• Notices the little details that others might miss
• Enjoys staying busy and physically active
• Is dependable, flexible, and willing to jump in wherever help is needed
• Can work independently while also being a great teammate
• Communicates well and enjoys contributing to a positive workplace
• Believes that every role-no matter what it is-makes a difference for animals

What You Bring

• Strong attention to detail
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Willingness to follow established cleaning and safety procedures
• Good communication skills
• Ability to prioritize tasks and adapt to changing needs
• A positive attitude and commitment to HSPPR's mission

Previous professional cleaning, janitorial, veterinary, shelter, or healthcare experience is helpful, but we're happy to train someone with the right work ethic and passion for our mission.

Physical Requirements

This is an active, hands‑on position. You'll spend much of your day walking, standing, bending, lifting (up to forty pounds), cleaning, and working around animals, cleaning products, and animal allergens.

Schedule

• Full-time
• Schedule may consist of either: Five 8‑hour shifts, or Four 10‑hour shifts
• Weekend availability is required
