Description & Requirements

Company Overview
Welcome to Livewell Animal Urgent Care of Goodyear, where our mission is focused entirely on providing compassionate, high-quality immediate care for pets when they need it most. Our dedication to clinical excellence is reflected directly in the community’s appreciation, evidenced by our excellent 5-star Google rating. This impressive community feedback confirms the deep trust pet owners place in our immediate and compassionate approach to urgent medical issues. We are looking for passionate individuals ready to join a growing team in a setting designed for high-impact medicine. This is your opportunity to do your best work and make a measurable difference in veterinary urgent care services.

We understand that a great practice starts with supported teammates. Although we are an urgent care facility focused on immediate patient needs, we are part of a larger network dedicated to professional development. This connection means you have access to extensive educational resources designed to help you grow your career beyond your current role. We actively support teammates achieving ambitious career goals, whether that means becoming a credentialed technician, pursuing specialization through internal consultation programs, or moving into future leadership opportunities. We believe in building a cohesive culture that ensures every person who walks through our doors feels valued and supported in their professional journey.

Practicing urgent care requires sharp clinical skills and reliable support, and you will find both here. By focusing purely on rapid diagnostic and therapeutic services, we provide impactful medicine without the fragmentation often found in general practice. Our veterinarians always have access to internal specialty consultations and cutting-edge educational programs, ensuring you are equipped with the most current medical knowledge to quickly assess and stabilize patients. We maintain the necessary facility standards and utilize reliable equipment required for prompt evaluation, giving you the tools needed to confidently manage critical cases and offer optimal outcomes for our patients.

Goodyear, Arizona, offers the ideal blend of small-town atmosphere with rapid metropolitan access. Located just outside Phoenix, you benefit from the affordability and open space of the West Valley while enjoying easy access to major league sporting events, professional dining, and cultural amenities. Known for its gorgeous mountain views and ample sunshine, Goodyear offers an exceptional quality of life centered around year-round outdoor activities, including hiking, golfing, and spring training baseball. If you are seeking a dynamic veterinary career in a sunny, growing community where you can focus on impactful urgent medicine, Goodyear is the perfect place to build your life.
