Do you have a passion for animals and want to be part of an amazing team that cares for them? Do you want to work for a company that values inclusivity and diversity and is committed to providing the best care to everyone in the community? Then you might be the IVY Pets superstar we're looking for!
Our brand-new veterinary clinic is opening a location in the heart of Midwood, Brooklyn, and we're looking for passionate and skilled veterinary professionals to join our team. The Midwood location was chosen due to the lack of urgent care animal clinics in the area, and we are excited to provide top-notch care to pets in the community.
At our clinic, we believe that every pet deserves high-quality and compassionate care. That's why we're committed to hiring the best and brightest veterinary professionals who share our values and passion for animals. We are a team of experienced and friendly veterinarians and vet technicians who provide the best possible care to every pet that comes through our doors.
We value inclusivity and diversity, and we are proud to be part of the Brooklyn community. This is our home, and we want to give back by providing an amazing and efficient vet clinic that is accessible to everyone. We are committed to building a team that represents the diversity of our community and provides a welcoming and supportive environment for all team members.
