Work Somewhere That Actually Cares

We look after our patients the same way we look after our team — with honesty, respect, and genuine investment in their wellbeing.

This Isn't Just Another Vet Job

A lot of clinics say they value their people. We want to show you what that actually looks like.Skaer Veterinary Clinic has been independently owned and family-run since 1971. That means no corporate mandates, no one-size-fits-all HR policies handed down from a head office, and no pressure to prioritise volume over quality. What it does mean is a small, close-knit team that genuinely supports each other — and a workplace where doing great medicine is always the goal.Dr. Christen Skaer built this team carefully. Every person here was chosen not just for their skills, but for their character. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we'd love to hear from you.

"I only hire people I'd trust with my own animals. That's the standard. If you're someone who genuinely loves this work, who wants to be part of a team that holds itself to a high bar — and who wants to feel good about where they work — I'd really love to hear from you."

Owner, DVM

Why People Love Working Here

We invest in our people the same way we invest in our patients — properly, and without cutting corners.

Meaningful, high-standard medicine

We're an AAHA Accredited practice. The standards are high, the medicine is thorough, and you'll be challenged to keep growing. If you care about doing things properly, you'll fit right in.

A real team, not just colleagues

Our vets collaborate on cases. Our nurses support each other. Everyone's voice matters here. You won't feel like a number — you'll feel like a person who belongs.

Supported, not just managed

We invest in continuing education, encourage professional development, and genuinely care about how you're doing — not just what you're producing. Burnout is real in this industry, and we take it seriously.

A calm, positive workplace

We're a certified Stress-Free Animal Hospital. That philosophy extends to our team too. A calm, positive workplace produces better medicine and better outcomes — for pets, clients, and staff alike.

Stability and real roots

Independently owned for over 55 years. We're not going anywhere, and we're not getting bought out. When you join Skaer, you're joining something with deep roots — and real longevity.

What We Look For

We hire for values first, skills second. We can teach techniques. We can’t teach someone to genuinely care.

  • Take pride in doing things properly, even when no one’s watching
  • Communicate honestly — with clients, with each other, and with us
  • Stay curious and keep learning — medicine moves fast and we move with it
  • Handle the hard days with kindness — this job has them, and how you show up matters
  • Treat every pet like it belongs to someone who loves it very much — because it does
