Job description

River Road Animal Hospital is growing, and I’m looking for an experienced Veterinary Assistant to join our team in Southport, NC.

For this particular position, we’re looking for someone who already has a strong clinical foundation and is comfortable working independently with the day-to-day responsibilities of veterinary assisting. We’ll absolutely support you as you learn our hospital, protocols, and workflow, but this is a role for someone who already knows how to be a veterinary assistant and is ready to build on those skills.

What makes River Road different?

• Privately owned and locally operated
• 4-day workweek
• Longer appointment times and a focus on quality patient care
• Continued learning and professional growth
• Expanding services and opportunities for advancement
• A team that values communication, initiative, accountability, and individuality

We’re looking for someone who takes veterinary medicine seriously, notices what needs to be done, communicates well with their team, and wants to become a dependable part of a growing practice.

You don’t have to be actively job hunting to reach out. If you’re an experienced Veterinary Assistant in the Wilmington, Leland, Southport, Brunswick County, or surrounding area and you’ve been wondering what else might be out there, I’d be happy to have a conversation.

Feel free to message me directly or share this with a veterinary professional who might be a great fit.
