Are you ready to work in a community-supporting organization?
To ensure that all animals in Sweden have the conditions to live the best life possible, there are the District Veterinarians. With round-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 individuals, businesses, and authorities. We offer community-supporting services for emergency veterinary 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 at our small animal clinic staffed by veterinarians and nurses from Monday to Friday. You will work both independently and together with a veterinarian or another colleague. Your tasks may also include staffing the reception, answering the phone with advice and appointment booking, feed consulting, and sales. Other clinic tasks such as hygiene, instrument and facility maintenance, as well as administrative tasks are included in the daily work.
The position is a summer temporary job with a possibility of extension.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone who is an animal caretaker. You are a person with drive and commitment and enjoy working in a team as well as independently. You communicate easily and are service-oriented towards both customers and your colleagues. Your ability to collaborate is good, but you can also work independently. Having structure in your work is natural for you, and you see it as part of your daily routine. The conditions of the workday can change quickly, and you need to be able to make decisions and assess what best supports a good flow in the work. You handle stress constructively and maintain a good mood. Previous work experience in a clinical setting is an advantage.
A valid driver's license (B) is a requirement for the position.
We warmly welcome your application. Selection and interviews will be conducted continuously during the advertising period!

We strive for diversity among our employees.
Our working language is Swedish, and our services require that you master Swedish in both spoken and written form.
We normally apply a 6-month probationary period.
In preparation for the recruitment process, the District Veterinarians have made a decision regarding recruitment channels and marketing. Therefore, we do not wish to be contacted by advertising sellers or recruitment companies.
