About The Position

At Animal Care of Greenville, our village runs on teamwork, compassion, and a willingness to jump in wherever the pets need us with no ego and no drama. Many members of our team, including our doctors, registered technicians, and even our practice manager, started in foundational roles like this one. We're searching for a Full-Time Veterinary Assistant who wants to make a real difference, learn the ropes from the ground up, and grow with our team and our hospital. If you love animals (and their people!), don't mind getting your hands (and scrubs) dirty, and want to become a rock-solid member of the patient-care team, keep reading. This may be your perfect place to start. We are a teaching hospital and love to coach and develop our team. If you bring the hustle and curiosity, we'll meet you with training, mentorship, and growth opportunities. We partner with local rescue organizations to give pets a fresh start, and you'll be part of those stories from day one.
