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! With major renovations wrapping up this summer, our hospital is getting a fresh new look — think new dental suite, dedicated cat ward, additional exam room, and upgraded dog runs. It’s the perfect time to come on board and be part of this exciting new chapter.

We’re a team of animal lovers who believe in supporting one another, working hard, and laughing harder. Our VAs and RVTs work closely together to provide excellent patient care. 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
  • Wellness Spending Account because your well-being matters
  • Extended health benefits
  • Opportunities for CE and to attend industry events
  • T uition support for qualified v eterinary t echnician programs 
  • 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

Veterinary assistant certificat ion or other relevant education considered an asset

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

You b ring your passion, your skills, and your love of animals — we’ll provide the rest. Apply today or email your resume and cover letter to Keira Anderson at [email protected] and join us in delivering outstanding care, one patient at a time.
