Location: Fishers, IN Pay Range: $17.00–$23.00/hour Status: Full-Time

At the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC), caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s a mission. As one of the few open-admission, truly no-kill shelters in the country, we give animals who are sick, injured, old, scared, or out of time their chance to live, love, and be loved. If you want to make a life-changing impact—this is it.

About the Role

As a Medical Intake Coordinator, you’re at the front lines of saving lives. You’ll support the medical onboarding of new shelter animals and provide ongoing care for those in need—working closely with our veterinarians, intake manager, and surgical team.

What You'll Do:

• Administer exams, vaccines, medications, and treatments
• Assist in diagnostics, surgical prep, and patient monitoring
• Perform humane euthanasia (when medically directed and approved)
• Intake new animals with compassion and precision—drawing blood, giving vaccines, microchipping, and more
• Communicate clearly with our foster team, medical team, and volunteers
• Support after-hours and emergency care (rotating on-call)
• Keep accurate, timely records using PetPoint and other tools
• Ensure sick animals follow prescribed treatment plans
• Maintain surgical spaces, clean equipment, and help animals recover safely

What You Bring:

Soft Skills

• A calm, compassionate presence under pressure
• Excellent communication and conflict resolution skills
• Willingness to work some evenings, weekends, and holidays
• Flexibility to pivot when the unexpected happens (because it will)
• A “whatever it takes” mindset that puts animal lives first

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• State-of-the-art facility designed for wellness and efficiency
• Mission with heart: In 2024, we saved 3,300+ lives and matched 40 veterans with support pets
• No-kill promise means we don’t give up on treatable animals
• Health & financial benefits: Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• 401(k) with match
• Generous PTO & paid holidays from Day 1
