Animal Attendant and Grooming Vacancies
Concord Veterinary Hospital, Inner West Sydney, NSW (posted 15th July) Animal Attendant
Animal Attendant – Hours Flexible
Full-time, Part-time or Casual
We are on the look out for a superstar Animal Attendant to join our team. This is a new role at Concord Veterinary Hospital as we continue to grow – to help us maintain our excellent track record of providing extraordinary service to our clients, but more critically to ensure the health and welfare of our patients is always paramount.
Animal Attendant’s arguably play the most vital role in any veterinary clinic – as you are with our patient’s the majority of the time. You are literally our eyes and ears and we rely on you for feedback about how patients are eating, drinking, if they appear healthy, and raise any other concerns. Animal Attendants are the first to see that a cat might be blocked, or that a dog has loose stools after surgery. You are the one’s who note a patient’s distress before any veterinarian does, or that Fluffy’s vital prescription diet is running very low.
This role would encompass tasks such as (but not limited to):
- General hospital tidiness and cleanliness
- Cage and run cleanliness and hygiene between patients
- Feeding patients and subsequent cleaning of their housing
- Medicating patients as instructed – and record keeping in our VPMS
- Restocking various hospital and cattery areas of the hospital
- Ensuring our patients are kept warm, safe, comfortable, and as happy as possible during their stay with us
- Administering medications to patients where appropriate
- Assisting veterinarians and veterinary nurses in performing hospital checks
- Maintaining hygiene in the hospital
Concord Veterinary Hospital works closely and daily with the Cat Protection Society of NSW – and so an affinity with cats and cat handling would be ideal, but definitely not essential.
We are happy to provide training for the right candidate and will soon have your feline handling skills to expert level! We are closed on Sundays and Mondays – but have staff present to take care of on-site patients, 7 days per week. We would envisage that this role would mostly entail weekend work.
About you:
You care about your patients and all things cats and dogs (with the very occasional bunny).
Some experience working with animals and/or in a veterinary clinic would be beneficial but is by no means essential. You always display a solid work-ethic, and a willingness to learn. You fit well into our growing, young, and positive team – this is very important to us.
This role may be well suited someone who is looking to jump-start into the industry. You may want to dip your toe in to the industry before enrolling in TAFE or university. You may already be enrolled in Certificate 2 or Certificate 4 in Animal Studies, but you could do with a few (or more!) work hours in your day to take a break from studying, but also to gain hands-on clinical experience. You may be studying via distance education, and so have some hours available each day, or longer days a few times per week. You may wish to work a few shifts per week, or more (part time/full time) – this role can be flexible for the right candidate.
For the right candidate who may be pursuing a career in veterinary nursing or more – there may be future opportunities in time for further advancement into veterinary nursing at Concord Veterinary Hospital, in-line with your training, progress, studies, and willingness to learn and apply that knowledge.
About the hospital:
Concord Veterinary Hospital has always strived to stay at the forefront of general practice medicine. We do not make a habit of resting on our laurels and are always looking to find ways to do better. One such example was being at the forefront of the treatment of feline infectious peritonitis worldwide, with our own in-house developed treatment protocols now being used all over the world, saving countless cats and kittens lives along the way. We are constantly on the lookout for ways we can improve our services to improve the health and welfare of our patients.
