Mckenzie Veterinary Services is hiring a Veterinary Assistant (Part-time)

Who We Are
Founded in 1988, McKenzie Veterinary Services is a veterinary practice in Victoria, BC, that offers a friendly and supportive work environment. We provide a full range of services for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, and even the occasional goat! At McKenzie, you're not just another employee; you become an integral part of our community. Not only are we a Cat Friendly Practice, but the majority of our support staff and all of our veterinarians are also Fear Free Certified Professionals. We take caring for our patients seriously. Our team members also embody our core principles and values of personal growth through education, compassionate and comprehensive care, and respect for the range of approaches and opinions we are fortunate to have in a multi-veterinarian practice.

Who You Are
We are searching for an organized, tech-savvy person who enjoys the hustle and challenge of working in a veterinary clinic to join our Patient Care Team. We would love you to have some experience under your belt, but we are happy to train the right person! If you enjoy caring for animals and don't mind getting a little dirty, this might be the job for you!

You'll need strong communication and exceptional typing skills to help the veterinarians during appointments. You will be right in the thick of the action—typing notes, making lab requisitions, sending communications to clients, ensuring the doctors are on time, and making sure the rooms are tidy between patients. Some days, you will be helping the technicians with their appointments. These can include nail trims, collecting samples, and helping to administer fluids, along with filing lab results, sending x-rays, and assisting the veterinarians with odd jobs.

Your calm attitude and fantastic time management skills will come in handy when you are doing a surgical or dental shift. You'll be getting things set up for the veterinarians, admitting patients, and helping to recover and discharge them at the end of the day.
