Job Description

Veterinary Assistant

Denver, Colorado | Full-Time | 4-Day Work Week

We are a fast-paced veterinary practice in Denver looking for a positive, team-oriented Veterinary Assistant who is excited to learn and grow in veterinary medicine. Whether you already have experience or are completely new to the field, we are much more focused on finding someone with a great attitude, strong work ethic, and collaborative mindset.

We genuinely love teaching and mentoring, and we are passionate about helping people build long-term careers in veterinary medicine.

Our hospital places a strong emphasis on two things that matter deeply to us:

  • Excellent patient care
  • A healthy, collaborative workplace culture

We believe both are essential to practicing great medicine — and we work hard to protect them every day.

What Makes This Role Different

  • 4-day work week for better work-life balance
  • A supportive team that enjoys teaching and training
  • Opportunities to learn surgery, anesthesia, patient care, and technical skills
  • A collaborative environment where assistants are valued and involved
  • Strong mentorship and growth opportunities
  • For team members interested in becoming Registered Veterinary Technicians, we offer full financial support for RVT education

What You’ll Do

  • Assist doctors and technicians with patient care
  • Help prepare and recover surgical patients
  • Support the medical team during procedures and treatments
  • Restrain and comfort patients safely and compassionately
  • Clean and maintain treatment and surgical areas
  • Help create a positive experience for clients and patients
  • Support teammates and contribute to a healthy hospital culture

What We’re Looking For

  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Dependable, motivated, and collaborative
  • Compassion for animals and people
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
  • Veterinary experience is a plus, but not required

Ideal Candidate

This position is perfect for someone who:

  • Wants to build a career in veterinary medicine
  • Enjoys learning and being hands-on
  • Thrives in a supportive and collaborative team environment
  • Wants to work in a hospital where assistants and technicians are trusted, valued, and encouraged to fully utilize their skills
  • Is interested in growing clinically and professionally over time

We know how hard it can be to find a veterinary hospital with both strong medicine and a healthy culture. We are committed to building both.

If you are excited to learn, grow, and be part of a genuinely supportive team, we would love to hear from you.
