Job description

In-home euthanasia work is known for being fulfilling work with longer, slower, and more in depth appointments allowing for deeper connections with families and their beloved pets. With a maximum of 5 (average of 3) appointments a day, built in time to decompress between appointments, and genuine support from owner and support staff, end of life care is extremely rewarding.

Appointments focus on maintaining pet's dignity, fear free handling techniques, and transparency with families about the euthanasia process. This results in work that is deeply appreciated and personally gratifying.

On boarding and training provided. Currently Forever Memories only provides in-home euthanasia appointments, but if you have an interest in hospice and palliative care these types of appointments can also be scheduled!

Adaptable schedule with part time or full time opportunities available. 4 day work week possible.

Benefits

• Guaranteed base salary ($120,000) with no negative accrual
• Bonus opportunities
• 4 weeks PTO
• $2,000 annual CE allowance
• $500 scrubs/clothing allowance
• Ongoing mentorship, collaboration, and support from owner/DVM with 8 years of experience in end of life care and 5 years of owning Forever Memories
• Ability to shape the future of your career the way you want to in the geriatric pet space
• Not corporate owned

Full transparency - this is my first hire and I am actively looking into insurance/disability/etc for employees.
