• Assist with surgery, anesthesia monitoring, and recovery.
• Perform laboratory diagnostics, radiology, and other clinical procedures.
• Monitor patients, support treatment plans, and maintain accurate medical records.
• Educate clients on treatments, medications, and ongoing patient care.
• Partner with veterinarians and teammates to maintain a safe, organized, and efficient hospital.

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods, bend, kneel, reach, and safely lift or move up to 50 pounds with assistance or appropriate equipment as needed.
• Comfortable working around dogs and cats, including sick, injured, anxious, or potentially aggressive patients; exposure to animal dander, odors, cleaning and disinfecting products, bodily fluids, medications, and other routine veterinary hospital hazards is part of the role. Must follow established safety, infection-control, and PPE protocols.
