Franklin Veterinary Clinic is looking to add an experienced Veterinary Technician or CVT to our highly collaborative, fast-paced small animal practice in Franklin, Massachusetts.

We pride ourselves on a strong, supportive team culture built around our core values: compassion, communication, community, dependability, and dedication. These aren’t just words to us — they guide how we care for our patients, support our clients, and work together every day.
