Nestled in the picturesque setting of Vashon Island, Fair Isle Animal Clinic is extending an invitation to passionate individuals for the role of Veterinary Assistant. This full-time role, spanning 30-40 hours a week with some Saturday duties, is set against the serene backdrop of the island.

Desired Attributes:

• Previous experience in a veterinary setting.
• Expertise in humane animal care and monitoring.

Key Responsibilities:

• Crafting a safe and hygienic habitat for all patients.
