Veterinary Technician Assistant
Sano Hospital for Animals
Veterinarian job in Aspen Park, CO
Job DescriptionVeterinary assisting covers a diverse range of tasks and patient care which depend of previous experience and aptitude of a new team member. Previous experience is helpful but the desire to help animals, people and contribute to a positive work environment is most important.
Over the first 12 weeks a new veterinary assistants training will progress through the following:
- Proper cleaning and disinfection of floors, kennels and surgical equipment.
- Animal restraint which includes safely and comfortably holding animals for the technicians and veterinarians while they perform vaccines, x-rays, administering medications, drawing labs samples and placing IV's.
- Assisting the veterinarian in exam rooms and learning to invoice clients.
- Prepare lab samples for outside labs and process samples in-house via automated machines.
- Final phase of training involves direct care of patients. Assistants will learn to administer medications both orally and intravenously, adjust IV lines and fluid pumps, and finally assist in surgery with documenting anesthesia parameters and safely recovering anesthesia patients.
Not every aspect of the job is glamorous, but every aspect of the job is imperative to the lives and wellbeing of our patients. Assisting in emergencies will be part of the job and can be extremely interesting and rewarding. Communication skills, empathy and sound judgment are vital. The position isn't just about animals. During euthanasias and emergencies we see clients in delicate emotional states who need our care, support and understanding. Supporting and understanding clients during these times is vital while also caring for their loved (furry) family members.
Pay range is $17.00 to 19.00 per hour depending on previous experience.
Job benefits are listed below. Paid time off is accrued so all staff receive two weeks (80 hours) PTO per year. Additional unpaid time off is accommodated on a case-by-case basis. Staff receive a $2500 credit to use toward veterinary care of personal animals (or animals of friends and family) annually. Retirement plan is offered with 3% match. Paid holidays include Memorial and Labor day, Independence day, Thanksgiving, Christmas day and New Year's day. Maternity leave is paid 100% for six weeks with additional six weeks unpaid if desired.
Most staff prefer to work 4 ten hour shifts so that has traditionally been our scheduling strategy, but we are open to other scheduling options. Surgery (10a-1p) and end-of day are the times that require the most coverage. We are open Mondays through Fridays and at this time don't anticipate re-opening weekends, but cannot rule it out in the future.
