Emergency Veterinary Assistant - Swing Shift

Emergency Veterinary Care Center • Westville, IN

2d • Onsite

About The Position

At Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC), we show up for pets and the people who love them on some of their hardest days. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working as part of a team, and want to make a meaningful impact every shift — this could be your place. EVCC was created by veterinarians, for veterinarians — and for the communities they serve. Founded by 36 local general practice veterinarians (many still actively involved today), we were built to support the veterinary community, not compete with it. Our Westville hospital is our first location, and we are proud to bring trusted, emergency-only care to the region. We lead with compassion, respect and elevate our technicians, support each other without ego, communicate openly and professionally, and recognize that emergency medicine is demanding — and take care of our team because of it. We genuinely care about whoever walks through our doors — whether it’s a critical patient, an anxious pet parent, or a teammate who needs support during a tough shift. Emergency medicine is intense. It’s emotional. It’s unpredictable. But it’s also deeply meaningful. You won’t be “just an assistant” here. Your assessment skills, instincts, and voice matter. Our doctors value collaboration. Our leadership team listens. Growth is encouraged, not gatekept.
