Alliance Animal Health•Bentonville, AR

18d•$17 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

Open 7 days a week from 2 PM – 10 PM, Animal Urgent Care of Bentonville is proud to provide fast and compassionate treatment for pets with urgent but non-life-threatening conditions, giving families more options when their pets need timely medical attention! From minor wounds, limping, and back pain to vomiting, allergies, ear infections, and more, our team is dedicated to delivering prompt care and peace of mind. Equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house diagnostics, and triage capabilities, we are able to help clients quickly understand their pet’s condition and treatment options. Our hospital works hard to fill the important space between general practice and emergency medicine. After support and stabilization from us, treated pets follow up with their primary vet, or are referred to Arkansas's largest ER and Specialty Hospital for those who need advanced procedures or critical care. We’re looking for adaptable, team-oriented professionals who thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy seeing a wide variety of cases each day, and are passionate about providing high-quality care! In urgent care, no two shifts are the same- our ideal teammates are confident shifting gears at a moment’s notice depending on what walks through the door and are excited by the challenge and reward that comes with it. If you’re looking to be part of a collaborative, energetic, and growing practice where you can make a real impact every shift, we’d love to meet you!
