ABOUT US

At Pioneer Veterinary Services, we believe great veterinary care is built on trust, collaboration, and compassion — both in the exam room and beyond. Our privately owned, mixed animal practice spans two locations (Olds & Sundre), with a team that thrives on professionalism, mutual respect, and personalized care for each client and patient. We’ve just moved into our brand-new Sundre clinic (December 2024), and we’re growing.
As our team expands, we’re looking for someone who’s equally comfortable communicating with clients as they are supporting technical care — someone who values communication, attention to detail and who genuinely enjoys being part of a team where every role matters.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a hybrid position ideal for a Veterinary Technical Assistant (VTA) who is equally energized by front-line client service and hands-on patient care. You’ll rotate between client care and back-of-house support, based on clinic needs and your strengths. We’re also open to CCS professionals who are interested in expanding their skills with light animal handling.
