Wanted: Veterinary Assistant
We are looking for an experienced person who genuinely loves animals and wants to be part of the care they receive every single day, from the moment a patient arrives to the moment they go home feeling better.
At Black Creek Animal Hospital, we are not filling a support role. We are building a team, and the right person for this role brings a calm presence, a positive attitude, a willingness to learn and support your team and a genuine commitment to collaborative high-quality care.
We are an independently owned, small animal hospital opening in the Comox Valley in Fall 2026, and we are hiring to have our team ready from day one. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, communicate with empathy and clarity, and want to grow with a clinic that's doing things differently, we’d love to hear from you.
The Perks of Joining Black Creek Animal Hospital
We are building a culture that prioritizes professional fulfillment and community impact and we support that with:
- Compensation: between $20.00-$22.00/hr
- Vacation: 4 weeks of paid vacation to enjoy Vancouver Island life.
- Community: 3 paid days annually to volunteer for local causes you care about.
- Built-In Rest: We close for all stat holidays, a full week in the summer, and the week between Christmas and New Year’s.
- Health & Culture: Extended health and dental benefits and a professional, family-owned environment with no corporate red tape.
Your Role:
Our Veterinary Assistants work alongside our Client Care team, Technologists and Veterinarians to support patient care throughout the day. This role is responsible for assisting with administrative tasks that support daily operations, preparing exam rooms, patient handling and assisting with procedures, maintaining a clean and safe clinical environment and supporting your team wherever needed.
If you are a motivated, compassionate person with prior animal handling experience, a passion for patient care and enjoy team collaboration, we want to hear from you!
