RESPONSIBILITIES

As a veterinary assistant with us, you will work in a varied daily routine with colleagues who help each other where needed. You will be one of our faces to the outside world with extensive contact with animal owners, both at the clinic and via telephone.

Your tasks as a veterinary assistant will be those within your scope of authority. Everything from assisting the veterinarian with scheduled small animals to having your own patients. You will handle cleaning, laundry, dishwashing, sales, and various orders. Answering the customer phone is an important part of the job; you must be able to give simple advice, make an initial assessment, book appointments, and in emergency cases contact the nearest veterinarian. Occasionally, you may also accompany the veterinarian out 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 service in Piteå on certain days is included in the position.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a veterinary assistant at least level 2.

You are an engaged and solution-oriented team player who supports and works for the team's best interest and towards common goals. You are accommodating and attentive in your treatment of our customers to give them a good experience of their contact with us.

The conditions of the workday can change quickly, and then you need to be able to make decisions and assess what best supports a good flow and workflow. You handle stress in a constructive way and maintain a good mood.

A B-class driver's license is a requirement for the position.

Previous work experience in animal care is an asset.
