Our Culture

Let us introduce you to the heart of Aurora Animal Care Center: our employees. We're more than just professionals sharing a workplace--we're a dynamic team fueled by a passion for small animal health and commitment to veterinary excellence. We thrive on supporting and growing as a team professionally and personally. 

A Mix of Skills & Expertise

In our three clinic practice, every team member is a key to our success. Whether you are a seasoned veterinary professional or a fresh face, we recognize and celebrate the unique skills and personality you bring. Our team is diverse and we love that! Although we are rooted in small animal medicine, we have individuals with experience as a licensed pharmacy technician, community zoo educator, human dentistry, equine alternative medicine, and even previously registered nurses looking for a change. We love embracing the blend of experiences and talents that defines us.

Collaboration Central & Monthly Meetings

Picture this: a space where ideas and change are encourage, where insights are shared without hesitation, and where every voice is not just heard but requested. We believe that change and trying something new can be a great thing! We have a structure in place to share ideas one-on-one with our management team so we can implement change at each of our monthly meetings. We want to hear what you have to say! We're not just colleagues, we are contributors to a shared vision. 

Unleashing Professional Growth with Continuous Education Opportunities

At Aurora Animal Care Center, we are firm believers that growth and learning should never stop. Our commitment to CE isn't just about staying current with new medications, treatments, or technology, it's about each individual's professional and personal growth. Dedicated continuing education budgets and paid employee time can be used to attend conferences or attain specific training or certifications. We believe education is power, and it is one of our most distinguished values. All we ask is that you return the knowledge and skills back to our practice for all to benefit; your growth is the key to our team's success. 

Beyond Scrubs--Team Spirit and Camaraderie

​

We are not just a group of individuals clocking in and out. We are a team that builds trust amongst each other. Team lunches, appreciation weeks, and celebration of holidays allow us to integrate on a personal level to create a tight-knit group. With this we have been able to support our staff as they move through life's milestones. Everyone loves a baby shower or special shout out on their birthday. Special recognition is also given for professional advancements. The strength of our team is built on camaraderie and trust, just as much as competence. 

Open Doors, Open Minds--Our Communication Philosophy 

Communication is not just about talking, it is about feeling heard. When ideas are shared in an appropriate structure, we can facilitate our open door policy as a testament to our commitment and ensure every team member feels valued. No one wants to work in a place where they feel underappreciated. Ideas, concerns, or just a chat--our doors are open. We are a team that employs open communication because you and your voice matter.
