A lay assistant is a non-clerical individual who supports clergy or religious leaders in various tasks within a religious setting, such as a church or temple. Their responsibilities may include assisting during services, helping with administrative duties, or providing support in community outreach programs. Lay assistants often contribute to the spiritual and logistical aspects of the congregation, allowing clergy to focus on their primary duties. They typically do not have formal theological training or ordination.

Is being an assistant veterinarian hard?

"Assistant veterinarian" is not a title I'm familar with. "Associate veterinarian" is a veterinarian who works at a clinic but is not an owner or part-owner of the clinic; this job has all the difficulties of any veterinary position. "Veterinary assistant" is a lay trained individual who assists the veterinarian with non-technical tasks such as cleaning the exam rooms, moving clients and patients from the reception area to the exam room and back out and other similar tasks. A veterinary assistant's job can be physical demanding but doesn't have the same demands a veterinarian's position does.
