Description

Administrative Assistant & Building Coordinator

Sherwood South Animal Hospital - Emergency & Critical Care

Baton Rouge, LA | Full-Time | Hourly

Help Keep a 24/7 Emergency Hospital Running Smoothly

Sherwood South Animal Hospital is hiring a proactive, detail‑oriented Facilities & Equipment Manager to support daily operations in our busy Emergency & Critical Care hospital.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys solving problems, coordinating projects, and making sure facilities and equipment are well‑maintained so patient care never skips a beat.

Why This Role Matters

• You directly support life‑saving veterinary care
• You'll "own" facilities and equipment needs from start to finish
• Every day is different - no routine desk‑only work
• You'll work locally with the backing of Thrive Pet Healthcare

What You'll Do

Facilities & Maintenance

• Coordinate building maintenance, repairs, and improvement projects
• Perform light troubleshooting and hands‑on support when appropriate
• Partner with vendors and Thrive's corporate Facilities team
• Track maintenance contracts and documentation

Equipment Support

• Help organize and track medical equipment
• Coordinate vendor repairs and ensure timely resolution
• Support uninterrupted clinical operations

Administrative & Operations Support

• Handle mail, invoices, and documentation
• Run off‑site errands as needed (reliable transportation required)
• Assist with quarterly and annual inventory
• Coordinate annual deep‑clean ("scrub") projects and supply ordering
• Support meetings, food ordering, and hospital events

Team & Hospital Support

• Assist with new employee onboarding (equipment, access, readiness)
• Maintain hospital bulletin boards and internal communications
• Provide general administrative support as needed

What We're Looking For

You'll Be a Great Fit If You Are

• Highly detail‑oriented with strong follow‑through
• A self‑starter who sees what needs to be done
• Organized and comfortable juggling multiple priorities
• Calm and professional in a fast‑paced healthcare setting
• Reliable, solution‑focused, and team‑oriented

Qualifications

• Experience in facilities, equipment, healthcare ops, or admin/project coordination preferred
• Comfortable with light physical tasks and basic troubleshooting
• Able to lift/move equipment when needed
• Reliable transportation
• Comfortable with basic computer systems and documentation

Why Sherwood South?

• 24/7 Emergency & Critical Care hospital
• Strong teamwork and emotionally intelligent culture
• Direct support from Thrive's national Facilities team
• Fast‑paced, meaningful work environment

• Our vast, diverse, and free library of continuing education courses - ThriveU
• Live, virtual interactive workshops to develop valuable leadership skills
