Veterinary Rehabilitation Assistant Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Help Pets Heal. Help Families Feel Hope.

At Alpha Animal Rehabilitation & Fitness, we believe every pet deserves the opportunity to move better, recover faster, and live their best life.

We are one of New Jersey's fastest-growing companion animal rehabilitation practices, specializing in orthopedic, neurological, post-operative, and senior pet rehabilitation. As our practice continues to grow, we're looking for an energetic, organized, and relationship-driven Client Care Coordinator to become the face of Alpha for both our clients and our referral community.

This is far more than a traditional front desk position. As our Client Care Coordinator, you'll play a vital role in creating an exceptional client experience, strengthening relationships within the veterinary community, coordinating educational outreach, and helping us continue to grow our referral network. You'll also have the unique opportunity to receive cross-training in companion animal rehabilitation, providing valuable insight into one of the fastest-growing specialties in veterinary medicine.

If you're passionate about animals, enjoy building relationships, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and love making a meaningful impact, we'd love to meet you.
