Veterinary Hospital Kennel Attendant
Description
Not every hero in a veterinary hospital wears scrubs.
At Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (AERC), exceptional patient care starts with a clean, safe, and organized hospital. We're looking for an Overnight Veterinary Hospital Attendant to help support our Emergency & Critical Care team by keeping our hospital running smoothly while the rest of the city sleeps.
This is not a primary animal handling position. While you'll work around animals and may occasionally observe patients, the primary focus of this role is environmental services, infection control, stocking, laundry, and maintaining a clean, safe hospital environment for patients, clients, and team members.
If you're someone who takes pride in organization, notices the details others miss, and enjoys staying busy, we'd love to meet you.
