• Skilled with anesthesia and surgical monitoring
• Confident, calm, and compassionate – especially during surgical discharges
• A team player who brings positive vibes and supports their crew
• Someone who loves learning, sharing knowledge, and advocating for pets

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• A consistent 4‑day work week – long weekends, anyone?
• A team that actually supports each other (no toxic vibes here)
• Use all your skills and continue growing in a collaborative setting
• Be part of an award‑winning, forward‑thinking hospital that values you

Benefits That Go Beyond the Basics

• Short‑Term Disability & Life Insurance – 100% paid by us
• Medical, dental, and vision options (including 100% paid dental premium)
• 401k with generous company match
• Paid time off – vacation, personal, sick days – all covered
• Fertility & family planning support (up to $30k)
• Mental health support, physical therapy, and digital wellness programs
• Team member discounts for your own pets
