About us

Fall River Veterinary Clinic is a small business in Hot Springs, SD. We offer a challenging, rewarding and fast-paced environment. Our goal is to provide top-notch care to our patients and clients, while maintaining our small town hospitality.

Our work environment includes:

On-the-job training

Modern office setting

Lively atmosphere

Casual dress code

A fun group of co-workers that likes to work hard, but play hard too

Fall River Veterinary Clinic is a mixed animal veterinary clinic where every day is different. Our staff routinely get to work with dogs, cats, horses, bison, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.

We're currently seeking a Veterinary Assistant or Technician for our high-volume practice to assist the doctor in performing a variety of daily tasks. The ideal candidate should be reliable, willing to learn and be a self-starter. The candidate should be comfortable working in a fast paced environment and able to multi-task with confidence. Our practice is growing rapidly, so we are actively seeking candidates who are interested in joining a hardworking team and contributing to our success.

Responsibilities:

Communicate appropriately with veterinarians and co-workers.

Collect samples of animal's bodily fluids and tissue for analysis.

Disinfect and sterilize medical instruments.

Assist veterinarians during surgery.

Document the health status of animals and record treatments.

Provide care to animals during physical examinations and treatments.

Patient care to include walking dogs and cleaning kennels.

Administer medication to animals as instructed.

General housekeeping

We are currently seeking to hire additional full time employees, although a part time person would be considered. The person we are looking for does not need to have a college degree or experience in a veterinary clinic. We are absolutely willing to train from start to finish. Certified veterinary technicians would be fantastic as well! We need our employees to be self-motivated, have attention to detail and a desire to learn. We do require weekend work, but we try to rotate fairly in order to be sure no one person has to work all of those shifts. Similarly, we do call in our assistants for after-hours emergencies. Therefore, the ideal applicant will be able to respond and be at our place of business in LESS than 20 minutes. Each employee averages 5-6 on-call nights per month, so it isn't excessive.

We work HARD at the clinic, but we also try to have a lot of fun as well!

Wage depends on experience, how fast skills are gained/maintained, level of patient care/competence etc. Minimum starting pay of $15/hr. Several other benefits after 6 months full time employment! If you’ve applied in the past and would like to be reconsidered please provide any updated information and let us know that you are looking for employment. Thanks in advance! We look forward to meeting with you!
