Lakeland Veterinary Hospital is hiring a Part-Time Cleaning Assistant to help keep our hospital clean, safe, and welcoming for the pets and clients we serve. This role is a great fit for a high school student (16+) or a retired individual looking for a flexible part-time schedule.
What to Expect
As you join our mission to provide our patients with the level of care we would demand for our own pets, expect to be supported in your work and home life with:
  • 401(k) plan for full-time employees
  • Guardian voluntary benefits
  • Employee pet discounts! Because we know your pets are family, too.

Salary: $13 - $14 per hour, determined by the candidate's skills, experience, and qualifications.
Schedule: This is a part-time position with flexible shift options:
  • Sunday-Thursday, 5:00pm-7:00pm (standard schedule), or
  • Monday-Friday, 5:00pm-7:00pm
  • We're also open to 6:00pm-8:00pm or 5:00am-7:00am shifts

Our goal is to have floors and garbage areas clean by 7:15am, Monday through Friday.
Key Responsibilities
  • Sweep, mop, and empty garbage daily throughout the hospital
  • Follow a rotating schedule for cleaning bathrooms and the breakroom
  • Maintain a consistently clean, sanitary, and organized facility

Growth Opportunity
For the right fit, there's an opportunity to cross-train into our kennel department. Several of our current kennel staff are cross-trained and pick up cleaning shifts as needed - a great way to build additional hours and experience.
Qualifications
  • Must be at least 16 years old
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to cleanliness
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
