Associate Receptionist Jobs in Iowa (NOW HIRING)

Where can your day begin with a bovine spay, end beside a cattle chute, and maybe include a camel along the way? At Countryside Veterinary Clinic, variety is part of everyday practice. Join a hardworking, laughter-loving team that supports one another across our three northwest Iowa locations.

Countryside Veterinary Clinic is a rural mixed-animal practice serving northwest Iowa through locations in Marcus, Remsen, and Moville. Our caseload reflects the communities we support, with extensive feedlot and cow/calf work, a strong small animal presence, and a variety of equine, swine, and small ruminant cases - plus the occasional camel, so every week brings something different.

You'll be working alongside:

• Dr. Bruce Tabke (Iowa State University, 1984), large animal practitioner, and the team's go-to for equine reproduction work
• Dr. Bailey Gray (Iowa State University, 2017), mixed animal practitioner
• Dr. Amanda Hendricks (Kansas State University, 2020), mixed animal practitioner
• Dr. Morgan Powell (Colorado State University, 2026), mixed animal practitioner

Our support team is the backbone of the practice, with several members contributing to more than 20 years of experience. Each of our three locations has at least one receptionist, and our team also includes veterinary technicians and a dedicated large animal technician.

We work hard, communicate openly, and make time to enjoy what we do. Our success depends on teamwork, shared goals, and a genuine commitment to our patients and clients.

"The team dynamic is what originally drew me to Countryside. I moved here knowing no one except my fiance, and even as a new graduate, I quickly became friends with the team - not just coworkers. We have a yearly staff picnic, a Christmas party, potlucks during lunch, and get together a few times a year for a bonfire or supper."

- Dr. Bailey Gray, DVM
