Veterinary Assistant/Technician
Job Description
Time for a change of pace? Maybank Mobile Veterinary Services is looking for an experienced veterinary assistant or technician! Hit the road and make mountains, lakes, and valleys your office for the day. Enjoy one hour appointment times, providing low stress service to pets of the Kootenays. No on-call/emergencies, no surgery, no weekends (there may even be an option to work some days from home)!
We are an independently-owned practice that strives to provide the highest level of patient care, in the most comfortable manner for pets and people. Our practice sees a range of cases, including puppy and kitten vaccines, medical work ups, dermatology consults, and palliative and end of life care. Our clientele is motivated, and compliance is high. Because of this, our treatment plans (and the results that come with them) are extremely gratifying.
Our team has been carefully chosen to promote a healthy, positive work environment. We are looking for someone that shares our values, has exceptional client communication skills, and can work independently and creatively. Experience in the veterinary field is an asset, as this position may include providing reception coverage from home, and requires technical skills, such as drawing blood and placing catheters.

We offer competitive wages, generous staff discounts, and flexible scheduling. This position can be tailored to your needs, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Work-life balance and longevity in this profession is our highest priority. If you think you’d be a good fit with our team and you’re up for an adventure, feel free to reach out to chat.
