About the role

Animal Care Center of NYC is seeking a Patient Care Specialist to support compassionate care for convalescing animals. Under the Veterinary Team Manager, you will feed, walk, clean and socialize animals, monitor wellbeing, and assist with physical exams from intake to examination. The role requires attention to detail, the ability to work calmly in a busy shelter, and capacity to lift up to 50 lbs while standing for extended periods; overtime may be available as needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
