Many of our team members have been here for years, creating a level of experience, stability, and camaraderie that you don’t find everywhere.

We believe work should be an important part of your life, not your entire life. We respect work-life balance and understand that our team members have families, hobbies, responsibilities, and lives outside of the hospital. We want our team to enjoy coming to work while still having time for the people and things that matter most to them.

We’re also fortunate to have a wonderful community of clients who truly care about their pets and want to do what’s best for them.
They value our expertise, trust our recommendations, and appreciate the relationships they’ve built with our team.

• Be a Leader and Mentor: You’ll guide and support the medical team, ensuring an efficient workflow while mentoring others to help them grow their skills and careers.
• Partner with Clients: You’ll be a key point of contact for pet owners, educating them on treatments, reviewing medical records, and confidently answering their questions.
• Contribute to a Positive Culture: You’ll play an active role in training, providing feedback, and maintaining the high standards of our hospital environment.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• Graduate of an AVMA-accredited Veterinary Technician program.
• A current state veterinary technician license in good standing.
• Proficiency in a range of technical skills, including nursing, surgery, dental care, radiology, and laboratory procedures.
• A calm and efficient approach, especially in fast-paced or stressful situations.
• Strong communication skills and a passion for working collaboratively.
• One year of experience in the veterinary industry is preferred.
