As we expand to Brooklyn, we're focused on building a specialty hospital where clinical excellence, professional growth, and supportive teamwork are always in clear focus.

At VEC, you'll find a schedule designed with balance in mind, a leadership team that listens, and a spirit of innovation that keeps us constantly evolving.

We're seeking an experienced Veterinary Assistant to join our founding clinical team. Whether your background is in general practice, emergency or you've already worked in specialty care, this is a unique opportunity to take your skills to the next level in a state-of-the-art hospital designed for learning, teamwork, and excellence.
This is a chance to help shape the protocols, culture, and rhythms of a brand-new specialty practice. You'll be instrumental in helping us build a team that functions with trust, efficiency, and heart.
