Overview
Veterinary Office Worker Jobs in Los Angeles, CA at The Sam Simon Foundation
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD BEFORE APPLYING
Searching for an office worker to help run a non-profit mobile veterinary clinic. No experience necessary.
This is an amazing opportunity for someone who wants to get into our field and learn about veterinary medicine. We spend a lot of time teaching and supporting our office workers so that they are fully trained in customer support and educated in veterinary care. You will have your own desk in a cozy office with wonderful coworkers. We also cross train with the receptionist at the clinic, and if you’re interested, as an assistant to our veterinary technicians inside the clinic so that you could provide clinical support staff relief as needed and/or as desired.
(Please be aware that the office is at a stationary location, while the clinic is mobile. This means that you will not be hands-on with the animals. You will, however, be enormously instrumental in improving their lives. Also, you will not be cross-trained at the clinic for at least the first several months of employment. And once cross trained, you will probably only provide relief for the on-site staff a few times per year. )
As the only free veterinary surgery clinic, we serve as a model for similar programs around the world. And because we are such an unique program, we only hire the best of the best.
You must have a warm personality, love animals, want to make a positive difference in the world, and be highly organized, flea-free and reliable. You must also take a great deal of pride in your work.
