Clinic Volunteer Application
Clinic Volunteers at Manitoba Animal Alliance assist in the execution of planning, preparation, setting up, and executing pop-up clinics in communities that have limited or no veterinary access. As a clinic volunteer, you will play a key role in providing accessible veterinary care to animals and their families in a kind way. Volunteer roles range from working the admissions table, ensuring all paperwork is properly filled out and clients are well taken care of and explained the process. Customer service skills would be beneficial. Other roles include working closely with the vet team, providing assistance where necessary, like setting up stations, cleaning areas, and maintaining medical equipment. Additionally, volunteers may be involved in animal care, ensuring all animals undergoing procedures are well and comfortable.
There are several roles that need to be filled, and accommodations can be made for volunteers who are more strongly suited for certain available roles. However, strong consideration will be given to volunteers who are versatile in order to meet the requirements for each clinic role.
