Do you have a heart for animals and a passion for hands-on care? Join our dedicated team at a 24-hour animal hospital located in the peaceful, stable community of Acton, California. Here, every day is an opportunity to help those who cannot help themselves.
About the Role:
As our Lead Veterinary Assistant, you’ll play a key role in a facility that provides round-the-clock medical care. Unlike a private veterinary clinic, our patients are not clients’ pets — they are rescued animals who rely on us for care, comfort, and love. You’ll work alongside compassionate doctors and caregivers to provide ongoing medical treatment, wellness checks, and emergency support in a stable, mission-driven environment.
This is more than a job — it’s a calling to be part of something lasting and deeply meaningful.
Your Daily Impact Will Include:
Administering medications and IV fluids with precision and care
Taking X-rays and assisting with radiology procedures
Performing dental cleanings and assisting in surgeries
Monitoring animal behavior, vital signs, and post-operative recovery
Maintaining accurate and detailed patient records
Restocking and organizing medications and supplies
Keeping hospital areas clean, safe, and always ready for emergencies
What We’re Looking For:
Full-time availability, including some weekends and holidays
(Shifts Available: Day Shift: 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM and Night Shift: 4:00 PM – 12:30 AM)
Willingness to work occasional overtime or rotating schedules
Confidence handling dogs and cats of all sizes
Physical ability to lift 40+ pounds and stay on your feet for long periods
Strong attention to detail and a calm, steady presence in urgent situations
A genuine love for animals and commitment to their lifelong well-being
No allergies to animals, cleaning agents, or environmental factors
Who We Are:
We are a 24/7 life-saving animal hospital. Our facility offers long-term employment stability, surrounded by nature and purpose. You’ll join a team that works hard, supports one another, and shares a deep sense of dedication to the animals who depend on us. If you’re looking for a stable veterinary career with heart, far from the burnout of private practice, this is your chance to make a lasting difference.
