Fredericton Veterinary Walk-In & Urgent Care is a part of the Galaxy Vets family, which is a new employee-centric healthcare system with a mission to give veterinary medicine back to veterinary professionals.

This Is Not an Entry-Level Role

We are hiring an experienced Veterinary Assistant who wants to practice at the top of their ability in a fast-paced urgent care environment.

At Galaxy Vets, there is no such thing as “just a VA.” You are a high-impact medical contributor, and a business owner through our Employee Ownership model.

If you’re looking to clock in and clock out, this isn’t your place. If you want to grow, contribute ideas, and help build something meaningful — keep reading.

What Makes This Role Different

Each shift, you are 1 of 2 support staff working directly alongside the DVM

You:

• Stay one step ahead and one step behind of your medical peers
• Support urgent patient care; assisting in procedures and basic animal handling/care
• Deliver exceptional client communication
• Take ownership of hospital flow and efficiency

You will be supported to reach the highest potential within your role and beyond; we are building a team of high performers proud of their accomplishments

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 1 year veterinary assistant experience (required)

• Confident animal handling in a fast-paced setting

• Strong communication and critical thinking skills

• Someone who takes initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do

• A person who wants to help build a sustainable, community-focused veterinary business

• Evening/weekend/holiday availability required (we believe in fair rotation)

• Ability to lift 50 lbs and work in a clinical environment, including bending, standing, stooping, kneeling, moving from room to room, and sitting; may be required to walk or stand for extended periods of time

Our Core Values (And Yes, We Mean Them)

Owner’s Mindset – We act like this is our business. Because it is.
Sees the Big Picture – We are part of a larger network, not just one clinic.
Always Evolving – We always look for growth opportunities; both personally and professionally
Lead with Integrity – Holding ourselves, and each other, accountable to do the right thing even when nobody’s watching
Sense of Humor – We support each other, celebrate wins, and keep perspective when things get busy

The Essentials

• $18–$22/hour (based on experience, and involvement with the bigger picture)

• Health, dental, vision & life insurance

• Paid time off

• Employee Ownership participation

If you want to be part of a team that values ownership, growth, and impact, we would love to meet you.
