• Provide hands-on support during emergency procedures—helping with patient restraint, positioning, and basic treatments.
• Prepare and restock treatment areas with necessary supplies and ensure equipment is clean, organized, and readily available.
• Communicate compassionately with pet parents—answer basic questions, direct them to the appropriate team member, and offer a comforting presence during stressful times.
• Perform basic laboratory tasks, such as setting up samples for testing and collecting vital patient data under the guidance of a technician or veterinarian.
• Collaborate with emergency technicians and doctors, sharing crucial updates and contributing to an efficient, team-oriented work environment.

We don’t just get through the workday; we embrace the challenges and triumphs that come with providing emergency care. You’ll be surrounded by professionals who share your commitment to excellence and a genuine passion for animal welfare.

• Solid communication skills, especially under pressure, and a keen ability to collaborate in a team-focused environment
• Basic knowledge of animal handling, restraint, and common veterinary terminology (or a willingness to learn quickly)
• A calm, organized demeanor—capable of juggling multiple tasks in a fast-paced setting
