Are you ready to work in a community-supporting organization?

To ensure that all animals in Sweden have the conditions to live as good a life as possible, there are the District Veterinarians. With around-the-clock readiness, clinics across the country, and unique knowledge of animal health, we contribute to healthier animals and a safer life. As district veterinarians, we work on behalf of private individuals, companies, and authorities. We offer community-supporting services for emergency animal care, disease control, and preventive measures for good animal health. Always with our feet on the ground and our hearts in the right place. The District Veterinarians are part of the Swedish Board of Agriculture.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an animal caretaker with us, you will work in a varied everyday life with colleagues who help where needed. You will be one of our faces to the public with a lot of contact with pet owners, both at the clinic and over the phone.

Your responsibilities as an animal caretaker will be those that fall within your qualifications. Everything from assisting the veterinarian with scheduled small animals to having your own patients. You will handle cleaning, laundry, dishes, sales, and various orders. Answering customer phone calls is an important part of the job, where you should be able to give simple advice, make an initial assessment, book appointments, and in emergency cases, contact the nearest veterinarian. Sometimes you may also accompany the veterinarian as a field nurse.

The district consists of two clinics, a larger one in Älvsbyn and a smaller one in Piteå. In Älvsbyn, the clinic is equipped with X-ray, dental equipment, and surgery for small animals.

You will be stationed in Älvsbyn, but working in Piteå on certain days is part of the job.
