Kennel Assistant at Alliance Animal Health

The Animal Emergency and Specialty Center of NWA is a well-established and growing emergency and critical care practice.  We are the only after-hour facility in the Northwest Arkansas area and the only 24-hour ER in Arkansas at the moment.  Our brand new, state-of-the-art facility is fully equipped with digital radiography, large touch screen monitors in all client rooms, Ultrasound, Idexx laboratories in-house, and a ForceTriad electrosurgical system.  We also have CT and MRI capability in-house through referral. Just as important, we have a friendly, highly skilled, motivated, and fun-loving staff.    We are very flexible with scheduling and are willing to work around requests, within reason.  Our practice is remarkably busy, so it is important for our staff to be able to handle high-stress situations, multitask well, and have good communication skills.  Our technicians and assistants are highly utilized at the top of their skill sets and are constantly learning new techniques. We want our staff to be hands-on!

Northwest Arkansas is home to Crystal Bridges-a world-class art museum, the state’s largest live-music amphitheater, and a multitude of distinctive historic downtowns.  It is also home to four state parks, making it a prime destination for hiking, biking, and anything outdoors.
