Job description

? More Than a Job. Find Your Veterinary Home.

Are you an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician who is ready to be part of the medicine—not just part of the routine?

At Embassy Veterinary Center – Emory Road, we believe exceptional pet care starts with compassion, collaboration, and a dedication to excellence.

We're looking for an experienced Veterinary Assistant who is confident, compassionate, dependable, and genuinely enjoys being part of a team. Someone who can walk into a busy treatment area, see what needs to be done, and jump in.

If that sounds like you, we want to meet you.

? Why Embassy?

Embassy isn't just another veterinary hospital.

Our Emory Road location is a 5,000-square-foot, full-service veterinary facility offering everything from wellness and preventive care to dentistry, radiology, soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery, urgent care, grooming, boarding, and daycare. We also offer same-day and drop-off appointments to make veterinary care more accessible to our community.

One day might involve wellness appointments and vaccines.

The next could include radiographs, dental procedures, surgery, urgent-care patients, or helping a hospitalized patient recover.

You won't be bored—and you won't be stuck doing the same thing every day.

The Embassy Culture

We believe the best veterinary medicine happens when great people work together.

Our mission is built around:

Innovation – Embracing advances in veterinary medicine and technology.

Integrity – Doing the right thing for our patients, clients, and teammates.

Ethical Responsibility – Making compassionate decisions and communicating openly.

Compassion – Treating every patient, family member, and teammate with kindness and understanding.

But culture isn't just something written on a wall.

It's how we treat each other when the day gets busy.

It's helping your teammate when they're overwhelmed.

It's speaking up when you notice something isn't right.

It's celebrating the wins.

It's learning from the hard days.

And it's remembering that we're all here because we care about animals and the people who love them.

Embassy is a friendly, cohesive environment that encourages positive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable people to grow with the organization. We believe in internal growth and equal opportunity—and we want team members who want to build a career, not simply work a shift.

? What You'll Do

As a Licensed Veterinary Technician, you'll work closely with our veterinarians and veterinary assistants to provide exceptional patient care and keep the hospital moving.

Your day may include:

• Assisting with examinations, treatments, and procedures

• Obtaining and documenting accurate patient histories and vital signs

• Safe, compassionate restraint and low-stress handling of dogs and cats

• Preparing patients for surgery and dental procedures

• Assisting with anesthesia and patient monitoring

• Running and preparing in-house laboratory diagnostics

• Assisting with digital radiology and diagnostic imaging

• Preparing medications and discharge instructions

• Educating clients about medications, treatments, and home care

• Maintaining clean, organized treatment and patient-care areas

• Stocking supplies and helping maintain equipment

• Supporting patient flow and communicating with the entire hospital team

• Jumping in wherever you're needed to help the team succeed

In short: you will be an important part of the medical team.
