Veterinary Assistant

Bethel Park Animal Clinic

Full-Time Veterinary Assistant. Established in 2011, our fast paced veterinary hospital is just south of Pittsburgh, PA. We currently offer services to dogs, cats and exotics.

The ideal candidate must be a self‑propelled, self‑starter. At our clinic, employees are considered family – we support each other and lean on one another. We embrace an empathetic and supportive culture where employees’ feelings are acknowledged, and open communication is encouraged. Work‑life balance is extremely important to us. We strive to foster a supportive, caring, and compassionate environment, not just for our clients but for our entire team.

Technicians collaborate closely with the veterinarians to deliver the highest quality care. Your knowledge matters when it comes to the care of our patients. Successful applicants must have a professional work ethic, positive personality, excellent communication skills, and the ability to multitask while remaining calm in our fast‑paced, yet supportive environment. They must also be able to maintain cooperative and positive relationships with coworkers and doctors as teamwork is of highest priority.

Our technician’s main duty is to be the primary medical support for our veterinarians.
