Outreach Clinic Lead

Seattle Veterinary Outreach (SVO)

Job Description

We’re excited to share this opportunity to join Seattle Veterinary Outreach (SVO), a progressive and nationally recognized nonprofit that supports both people and their pets through community-based care. This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be part of a small but mighty team that’s out in the field, connecting directly with individuals and making a real impact through innovative, compassionate services.

We’re a tight-knit team doing big, meaningful work. We value collaboration, flexibility, compassion, and a shared sense of purpose. At our clinics throughout King and Snohomish counties, we support community members who are often marginalized or vulnerable, including those experiencing homelessness, living with low incomes or disabilities, navigating active addiction or mental health challenges, and those who speak languages other than English.

We’re looking for someone who is not only comfortable working with these communities, but who brings heart, commitment, and a deep sense of responsibility to their role. If you’re someone who takes initiative, thrives in dynamic environments, and believes in the power of equitable care—for both people and animals—we’d love to meet you.

Outside of clinics, you’ll manage inventory and organization at our storage space, helping to prepare the mobile unit and supplies for upcoming outreach days. This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role that blends logistics, leadership, and community engagement.
