Veterinary Assistant

4 months ago

Torrance, United States VCA Animal Hospitals Full time

We are looking for Experienced Veterinary Assistants to join our brand-new, VCA Urgent Care hospital in Torrance, CA. The hospital is OPENING in August 2024.

Location: 18305 Hawthorne Blvd., Torrance, CA 90504

Compensation: $ 19 - $ 22 / hour. Compensation is negotiable based on education, experience, and other relevant credentials.

Schedule: 5/8’s. Full and Part-time positions available. The hospital is open 7 days a week, 10 am- 8 pm. One weekend day per week and holiday coverage are required.

Have you ever wanted to be on the front lines of innovation? Do you enjoy a fast-paced environment with a collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care? Can you provide high-quality nursing care while creating a fear-free environment for the patients under your care? You just may find yourself rekindling your JOY for veterinary medicine in this well-designed, people-focused, high-tech hospital with an innovative approach to Urgent Care.

Our Technical team works in pairs to maximize efficiency while providing patient care. Utilizing a digital whiteboard, all diagnostics and treatments are clearly communicated allowing the medical team to complete cases quickly while keeping the doctor up to date on diagnostic results. An emphasis on low-stress handling, hands-free radiology, and a well-organized treatment space allows you to keep the patients calm and safe during their visit. The virtual waiting room has a dynamic capacity analyzer that assesses the team’s pace and updates clients on the wait time digitally. When the team reaches capacity for the day, the waiting room automatically closes. This allows all team members to leave on time, with all medical records and patient care completed. The technician and assistant team only does patient care, not answering phones, presenting estimates, or checking out clients needed.

What You’ll Do

  • Follow digital treatment plans prescribed by DVM

  • Obtain quality lab samples via venipuncture, cystocentesis, fecal collection, etc.

  • Place intravenous catheters in feline and canine patients

  • Perform diagnostic radiographs (hands-free as allowed)

  • Administer injections (intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular), medications, and nursing care as directed by a veterinarian

  • Monitor patients under general anesthesia and sedation utilizing multi-parameter assessment equipment

  • Maintain accurate, complete digital medical records

  • Fill prescriptions (as allowed by law)

  • Maintain a clean work environment including following any infectious disease protocols, handling medical/biomedical, and infectious waste appropriately

Qualifications

  • Minimum 3 years of veterinary experience in a general practice or emergency setting

  • Ability to operate with a sense of urgency and high pace

  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills

  • Willingness to jump in as needed

  • Able to work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment

  • Comfortable asking for help and clarification when needed

  • Possess high attention to detail

Benefits: Below are some of the many benefits of joining the VCA team for full-time associates (part-time benefits may vary)

  • Paid vacation, sick time, and holiday pay

  • Free mental health sessions (Lyra) and wellness subscriptions (Head Space)

  • Referral bonuses

  • Medical, dental & vision insurance for you and your family

  • Health saving account, and Flexible spending account

  • Generous pet care discounts plus discounts on Mars, Royal Canin, and more

  • Life, short, and long-term disability insurance (company-paid)

  • Paid parental leave for new parents

  • 401(k) (company match)

  • Opportunities for growth and leadership roles at VCA and Mars Veterinary Health

  • Dedicated onboarding and development support

  • Associate-led equity, inclusion, and diversity groups

  • Free Continuing Education through our online WoofU
