Job description

Hamilton Mill Animal Hospital is looking for a Credentialed Veterinary Technician who wants to fully utilize their technical skills, continue growing professionally, and be an important part of a collaborative medical team.

We believe credentialed technicians should be empowered to practice at the top of their skill set. Our nursing team plays an active role in patient care, anesthesia and surgical support, dentistry, diagnostics, client education, outpatient care, and keeping our doctors and hospital flowing efficiently.

Our hospital is also continuing to expand the level of medicine we provide. In addition to preventive care, dentistry, surgery, and same-day/urgent care, we are growing services such as orthopedic surgery and advanced diagnostic workups. This is a great opportunity for a technician who enjoys learning and wants exposure to a broad range of cases and procedures.

Leadership experience—or an interest in developing leadership skills—is a huge plus. We value technicians who take initiative, help develop those around them, and want to have a meaningful impact on the success and culture of the hospital. For the right individual, there is an opportunity to continue growing both clinically and as a leader.

Your Impact as a Credentialed Veterinary Technician

Note: The Credentialed Veterinary Technician title is used in various states based on state-specific licensing and credentialing requirements. Responsibilities may vary depending on the hospital and/or state and will be outlined by the state’s Veterinary Practice Act and/or the responsible veterinarian, where applicable.

• Utilize Your Full Skillset: You'll be a vital part of the medical team, providing comprehensive patient care, including administering treatments, monitoring anesthesia, and performing lab work.
• 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.
