We are seeking 1-2 full-time (or part-time) certified veterinary technicians for our 4-doctor team. We're looking for a self-motivated individual with a positive attitude, strong communication skills, some leadership skills, desire to put patients and clients first, and a vision to help us grow! Taking initiative is a must! Over the past two years, our facility has undergone many positive changes and growth, allowing us to practice and provide gold-standard medicine for our patients. You will be supported by ownership and management with over 15 years of experience in the veterinary field.

The team is supported by one licensed veterinary technician, four assistants/technicians on appointments, two surgery technicians, and three client service representatives. We value the skills and expertise of our LVTs and strive to fully utilize their education and skills while fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment. This role requires working in surgery 2-3 days per week, assisting with sedation, patient preparation, and procedural support. We actively demonstrate our commitment to work-life balance by scheduling appointments with a minimum duration of 30 minutes for wellness/ vaccines and 1 hour for sick patients. We ensure that both our team and patients have the time and attention they deserve. We are committed to providing a flexible, family-forward workplace where your personal life is respected and supported. Combined with the positive changes we've implemented within the practice (over the past two years), this approach has contributed to strong staff retention.
