WHO WE NEED

You are a passionate, motivated veterinary professional with at least two years of hands-on clinical experience who thrives in a fast-paced emergency environment. You don't just support patient care—you actively participate in it. As an Emergency Veterinary Assistant at VEG, you'll work side-by-side with credentialed veterinary technicians and veterinarians to assess, treat, monitor, and care for emergency patients throughout their entire hospital journey, from triage and stabilization through diagnostics, treatment, hospitalization, and discharge.

You take pride in delivering exceptional patient care while providing compassionate support to pet parents during some of their most challenging moments. You're eager to continue expanding your emergency and critical care knowledge, embrace new challenges, and develop advanced clinical skills through ongoing training and mentorship.

You're a collaborative team player who communicates openly and respectfully, adapts quickly as priorities shift, and remains calm under pressure. You know when to work independently, when to ask for help, and how to contribute to a positive, supportive team culture. Because our hospitals operate 24/7, you're comfortable working in a dynamic environment that requires flexibility, accountability, and a commitment to providing outstanding care whenever patients need us most.

• Ability to perform the physical requirements of the role, including:
