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 preparedness, 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.
Welcome to the District Veterinarians in Forsheda!
We are a cheerful team looking for you who are an animal caretaker at level 2 or 3. What characterizes us in Forsheda is that we enjoy working together and always try to do a little extra for the animal and the customer when possible. We have close cooperation with surrounding districts, and our practice area is known for having very pleasant pet owners. We, your new colleagues, will help you get a good introduction, and we will assist you in getting started with your tasks. If you are interested in working with us, do not hesitate to apply.
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 pet owner contact, both at the clinic and by 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 emergencies, contact the nearest veterinarian. Sometimes you may also accompany the veterinarian as a field nurse.

You are an engaged and solution-oriented team player who supports and works for the team's best and towards common goals. You are accommodating and attentive in your interactions with our customers to provide them with a good experience of their contact with us.
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.
A B driver's license is a requirement for the position.
Previous work experience in animal care is an advantage.
Warm welcome with your application. Selection and interviews are ongoing.
