Other duties as required.

Must reside in Ontario (This is an onsite position, not remote).

This is an active role requiring you to be on your feet all day, moving around the clinic to perform various tasks—being quick on your feet is essential.

Must be committed, reliable, and flexible to work days, evenings, and weekends.
Willingness to work at multiple clinic/office locations within the region.
