Position Title: Oncology Animal Care Attendant
Reports to: Lead Specialty RVT
Department: Oncology
Status: Full-Time Permanent (40 hours per week)
Prerequisites
Position Summary
To provide support to the Oncology Team, including gold standard nursing and comfort care to our oncology patients, with clear and effective client communication. This will be a very important accessory role within our Oncology Department and will include assisting with restraint for procedures and chemotherapy treatments, patient comfort care, and providing owner updates as requested.
As Boreal Veterinary Centre's Oncology Service continues to grow, we are expanding our support team to meet the increasing demand for specialized oncology care. This position has been created to support the continued growth of the department, allowing our Registered Veterinary Technologists and specialists to focus on advanced medical procedures while ensuring patients receive exceptional comfort, husbandry, and emotional support throughout their treatment journey.
This role will work under the direction of the Oncology RVTs, with a primary focus on comfort care for chemotherapy patients. Some cross-training and assisting in other departments may be required as requested.
Schedule
This is a full-time permanent position consisting of 8 to 10-hour shifts, Monday through Friday, scheduled between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Essential Job Functions
Background for Development and Importance of This Role
The need for this accessory role has risen due to the shortage of veterinary professionals. When examining the day-to-day work of registered veterinary professionals, we need to highlight what is in their scope of practice and place an emphasis of time on those activities for them. In a busy hospital, their medical expertise is prioritized, and the non-medical activities become less of a focus. Boreal Veterinary Centre feels that those “non-medical” activities are often under emphasized and strive to include non-registered support staff as an integral part of the medical care team to provide a gold standard of care.
Company Benefits
Joining the Boreal Veterinary Centre team means you'll enjoy an array of perks, including:
