Full job description

About the role:

The Veterinary Eye Center is looking for a Veterinary Assistant and animal lover to join our growing team at our location in Manhattan. Veterinary experience is required. We are a staff of inspired veterinary professionals, practicing modern medicine in a state of the art and collaborative environment. Our brand-new facilities ensure you have the tools, technology, and support needed to succeed, grow and thrive.

Our mission is to provide world-class care to pets while helping shift the veterinary profession away from burnout and toward a healthier, more sustainable future. With a strong focus on team wellness and a mindset rooted in innovation, we’re building a different kind of veterinary practice—one that believes in changing the status quo in vet med for the better.

The practice was designed and built by clinicians for clinicians, and that shows in everything we do. If that resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.

 

What We Offer:

  • $20 - $25 an hour
  • Four day workweek with shifting schedules Monday-Friday only
  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off, up to 120 hours per year
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • 401(k) with a company match
  • MetLife voluntary benefits
  • Employee pet discounts
  • Continuing education reimbursement
  • Scrub allowance
  • No overnight, no on-call shifts, no late evenings, and no weekends

Continuing Education:

We believe in helping you grow. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned pro. Veterinary Assistants here are eligible to receive unlimited CE reimbursement for things like conferences, wet labs, and skill-building courses (plus we’ll cover up to $750 per year in related travel expenses if needed). You’ll even have the chance to bring back what you learned and share it with the team. If you're excited about learning, we're here to support it, every step of the way.

What You'll Do:

  • Assist Doctor and Technicians in providing a seamless client and patient appointment experience
  • Handling and restraint of patients for consultation exams and patient sample collection
  • Handling and submission of patient samples to in-house and external laboratory
  • Thorough cleaning, organization, and stocking of appointment exam rooms and appointment treatment area

What We Require:

  • 1+ years’ experience as a Veterinary Assistant
  • Confidence with handling and restraint
  • The ability to work independently, responsibly, and ethically
  • A resourceful nature and creative problem-solving skills
  • An openness to feedback, coaching, and continuous learning
  • A commitment to the welfare of animals

An Inclusive Environment:

We provide equal opportunities for everyone who applies to and works for VEC, regardless of age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, color, national origin, disability, and all other law-protected considerations that make you, You.

Feel free to note your preferred pronouns in your application.
