Veterinary Assistant

Join an award-winning veterinary practice specializing in acupuncture and integrative care for geriatric and disabled pets.

Our clinic is different from a traditional general practice hospital. We see fewer patients per day, spend more time with every pet, and provide individualized, compassionate care.

We have been voted Best Veterinarian on Long Island multiple years and are proud of the lasting relationships we build with our patients and clients. We are looking for a reliable, hard-working, friendly assistant to become an important part of our close-knit team.

This position is ideal for:

Students who want to pursue veterinary medicine as a career.
Veterinary assistants seeking a calmer, more rewarding practice environment.
Individuals who value compassionate, relationship-based patient care.

Schedule:

Required:

Monday-Wednesday 11:45 am-6:30 pm.

Potential future hours:

Thursday, 9:30 am-4:30 pm.

PLEASE APPLY ONLY IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL MONDAY-WEDNESDAY HOURS.

This is a permanent, year-round position (NOT seasonal).

Responsibilities:

Safely restrain dogs and cats during acupuncture treatments (holding patients for 15-20 minutes). Applicants should have at least one year of experience handling dogs and cats in a veterinary setting.
Cross-train for front desk responsibilities: answering phones, scheduling appointments, processing payments, communicating with clients.
Clean and restock treatment areas.
Help maintain a positive, organized, and compassionate environment for pets and clients.

What we offer:

$17-19/hr to start, with opportunities for raises based on reliability and performance.
Predictable daytime schedule (no late nights, weekends, or emergency shifts).
Calmer pace than GP clinics.
Direct mentorship from the veterinarian.
A unique specialty experience that strengthens veterinary school applications.
The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of geriatric and disabled pets.

What we're looking for:

Reliable, punctual, and dependable (attendance is critical in our small clinic).
Comfortable safely handling and restraining dogs and cats.
Team player willing to help wherever needed.
Friendly, professional communication skills.
Interest in veterinary medicine or holistic care is a plus, but not required.

If you are dependable, compassionate, and hard working we would love to hear from you.
