Description & Requirements

Company Overview

At MiVU (Mobile Imaging Veterinary Ultrasound), we are redefining the referral experience. Instead of sending patients away, our team brings hospital-grade diagnostics directly to the primary care clinic. This mobile model is a game-changer: it keeps patients in a familiar environment, reduces anxiety for pet parents, and empowers veterinarians with immediate, collaborative answers.

As a member of our mobile team, you will enjoy the autonomy of the road while delivering high-level medicine. The quality of care at MiVU is defined by specialized expertise; you will focus entirely on detailed diagnostics, including echocardiography, abdominal ultrasound, and interventional procedures like Fine-needle and Tru-cut Biopsies.

We view every individual as an integral part of our success. You will step into a supportive structure designed to help you achieve your highest professional goals, with mentorship programs and continuous education that allow you to constantly refine your skills. If you are ready to provide compassionate care through precision imaging - right where it's needed most - MiVU is your home.

Job Description

Your Impact as a Veterinary Field & Imaging Support Assistant

• Keep the Day Running on Schedule: You'll meet the doctor at the prearranged time and location each day (typically set the night before) and keep pace with a fast-moving, fluid daily schedule.
• Transport the Team Safely Between Sites: You'll drive the company vehicle between hospital sites throughout the day, safely transporting ultrasound equipment between the vehicle and the exam room.
• Set the Stage for Every Exam: You'll set up and break down the ultrasound machine at each stop, ensuring the doctor is ready to work at a moment's notice.
• Provide Hands-On Patient Support: You'll restrain animals during ultrasound exams, including lifting larger or squirming animals (must be able to lift at least 40 lbs), with hospital staff assisting on especially large animals.
• Represent the Team with Professionalism: You'll present yourself professionally to veterinarian clients at every hospital, serving as a positive and reliable point of contact.
• Be a Trusted Partner to the Doctor: You'll provide general personal assistance to the doctor as needed, both in and outside the hospital.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• No prior veterinary experience required; experience as a veterinary technician or assistant in a small-animal hospital is a plus.
• A valid Driver's License in good standing with a good driving record.
• Comfort with a schedule that ends when the work is done, rather than at a fixed time.
• Strong communication skills paid with dependability, a strong work ethic, and willingness to learn.
• Flexibility and cooperation, with a positive attitude and patience with animals, coworkers, and other drivers.
• The physical ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
• An interest in long-term employment.
