About The Position

All Pets Veterinary Hospital is seeking veterinary assistants who want to feel valued for their work and make a difference in the lives of people and their pets.

As the veterinary assistant learns the flow and ways of the hospital, progression to animal restraint and assisting other support staff is required.
