Job description

Certified Veterinary Technician — Let Your Skills Shine!

Stamford, CT

Are you a credentialed tech who’s tired of being underutilized? Ready to level up your career in a clinic that actually gets how important you are? At Stamford Veterinary Center, we believe rockstar technicians deserve a stage—and the tools, support, and autonomy to perform at their best.

We’re looking for a Certified Veterinary Technician who’s passionate about patient care, thrives in a fast-paced team, and wants to use every ounce of their training and talent. If you're the kind of tech who loves educating clients, mentoring teammates, and doing more than just holding pets for vaccines—you'll feel right at home here.

What You'll Be Doing:

1. Deliver top-notch nursing care: venipuncture, catheter placement, radiology (yes, dental too), anesthesia monitoring, surgical support—you name it.
2. Be the right-hand to our DVMs, empowering them to practice at the top of their license because you’re doing the same.
3. Guide pet parents with empathy, clarity, and confidence.
4. Rock patient histories and EMR accuracy.
5. Jump into mentorship opportunities—because sharing knowledge makes us all better.
6. Constantly grow, learn, and stretch your skillset. We’ll support every step of that journey.

What We’re Looking For:

1. Licensed, registered or certified Veterinary Technician (or enrolled in an accredited program)
2. 2+ years of clinical experience in small animal medicine
3. Sharp technical skills and strong medical math knowledge
4. Calm under pressure, team-first attitude, and solid communication chops
5. Able to lift 40 lbs, work on your feet, and roll with whatever the day throws at you
6. Bonus points if you're the kind of tech who can anticipate a vet’s needs before they ask
