Job Description - Animal Care Technician (Kennel Assistant)



Full-time


Description

Bolton Veterinary Hospital is a high-volume, fast-paced practice that provides primary, urgent and emergency care to small animals, including exotics.  We are proudly privately owned, and have been in operation since 1953.

We are currently looking for a dedicated and hardworking Animal Care Tech to join our inpatient team. This is an entry level veterinary position and provides an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door at a 24/7 Emergency Veterinary Hospital.

About this Job:

  • Entry level role, but hands-on experience working with animals is strongly preferred
  • This is a full time position and will include a weekend day. As we are a 24/7 hospital, working two holidays a year is required for this role (with holiday pay & holiday rates!)
  • $17-$18/hour depending on years of experience, technical skills and abilities, licensure/certification status + a shift differential of 30% for overnights
  • Walk all inpatient dogs, clean and maintain their cages, and provide fresh water.
  • Clean bedding & litter boxes for every feline patient.
  • Check for dirty and/or soiled cages for all animals in the hospital.
  • Collect and run laundry for each ward. Clean mats from discharged patients, rinse muzzles, or any items outside the tub.
  • Keep all high contact areas clean, sweep and tidy up the wards. Wash dishes and empty trash and recycling bins as needed.
  • Refill stool bags and check if stool trashes need to be emptied.
  • Check and maintain food and supply stock in garage storage

Requirements

What we are Looking for:

  • Dependable & reliable people who want to further or begin a career in veterinary medicine
  • Ability to learn quickly
  • Proper restraint of cats & dogs
  • Good judgement and respectful of animals and people
  • Ability to follow direction from supervisor, shift lead, and other experienced support staff
  • Things get busy quick, so when there is downtime our ACT's take the initiative to get caught up on cleaning or ask where else they can help out.
  • Availability: 32 hours/week - MUST be able to work one weekend day and one late night (until 10 PM) each week
