About the role

Support veterinary technicians and veterinarians with patient care, handling, and restraint in a fast-paced emergency environment. Maintain hospital cleanliness, manage supplies, and provide empathetic support to clients and pets.

Make a difference when it matters most.

At Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC), we show up for pets and the people who love them on some of their hardest days.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working as part of a team, and want to make a meaningful impact every shift — this could be your place.

Who We Are

EVCC was created by veterinarians, for veterinarians — and for the communities they serve. Founded by 36 local general practice veterinarians (many still actively involved today), we were built to support the veterinary community, not compete with it.

Our Westville hospital is our first location, and we are proud to bring trusted, emergency-only care to the region.

But what truly defines EVCC isn’t just what we do — it’s how we do it.

  • WE
  • Lead with compassion
  • Respect and elevate our technicians
  • Support each other without ego
  • Communicate openly and professionally
  • Recognize that emergency medicine is demanding — and take care of our team because of it

What life is like at evcc

We genuinely care about whoever walks through our doors — whether it’s a critical patient, an anxious pet parent, or a teammate who needs support during a tough shift.

Emergency medicine is intense. It’s emotional. It’s unpredictable.

But it’s also deeply meaningful.

You won’t be “just an assistant” here. Your assessment skills, instincts, and voice matter. Our doctors value collaboration. Our leadership team listens. Growth is encouraged, not gatekept.

Your role as an experienced veterinary assistant (Overnight)

As a Veterinary Assistant at our Mishawaka location, you’ll be a crucial part of our emergency team. You’ll support veterinary technicians and veterinarians by assisting with patient care, maintaining hospital cleanliness, and ensuring the hospital is stocked and ready for every emergency.

You’ll interact with pets and clients directly, creating positive experiences even during stressful situations, and help ensure every shift runs smoothly.

  • What you’ll do
  • Assist veterinary technicians and veterinarians with patient handling and restraint
  • Clean and sanitize exam rooms, treatment areas, and kennels according to hospital protocols
  • Maintain cleanliness of hospital equipment, instruments, and laundry
  • Feed, walk, and provide general care for hospitalized patients
  • Monitor patient comfort and report changes in condition to the medical team
  • Restock supplies in exam rooms, treatment areas, and inventory stations
  • Perform basic administrative tasks such as trash removal, laundry, and restocking
  • Adhere to all safety and infection control protocols
  • Participate in team meetings, training sessions, and hospital improvement initiatives
  • Provide empathetic, positive experiences for clients and patients at all times

This role requires confidence, resilience, and heart.

Who thrives here

What You’ll Need

  • Dependable, detail-oriented, and able to follow instructions
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, emergency environment
  • Availability for evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight shifts
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and remain on your feet for extended periods

How we invest in you

We believe people do their best work when they feel valued and supported.
