Job Description

Come for the medicine. Stay for the people. Grow with the opportunity.

Are you a passionate, resilient, and curious veterinary assistant looking for a supportive, collaborative (a nd maybe a little chao tic) hospital? If that sounds like you, we think you’ll like it here.

Okanagan Veterinary Hospital is growing, and we’re looking for a full-time VA to join our fantastic team in beautiful Kelowna, BC!

Whether you ’ r e passion ate about hospital standards , client education, inventory management or social media, we give our VAs the support they need to build their skills .

We see mostly cats and dogs, but… for those who like a bit of variety, pocket pets, capybaras, and even the occasional kangaroo have walked (or hopped) through our doors. Every day is different here — in the best way possible.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • A flexible schedule of weekdays and rotating Saturdays
  • Competitive wages starting at $19 - $24/hour, commensurate with experience
  • RRSP matching plan to help you plan for the future

  • Staff discounts for your own furry crew
  • Scrub allowance
  • Supportive, skilled teammates who’ve got your back
  • The chance to live and work in one of Canada’s most beautiful destinations ( the perfect mix of hiking and vineyards in the summer and skiing in the winter!)

What we’re looking for:

A confident, kind veterinary assistant w ith a positive attitude and growth mindset

Someone who thrives in a team environment, maintains professionalism, an d can flex depending on the needs of the day

Someone able to lift 50lbs comfortably – whether it’s stocking bags of food or animal restraint, this job requires lifting and lots of time on your feet 

A love of animals, obviously

Previous veterinary assistant, kennel attendant or relevant volunteer experience considered an asset

Bonus points if you bring snacks. Triple points if you share.
