We are looking for a motivated individual with a positive spirit to fill a full time Veterinary Technician position. We will also consider part time employment for the right individual. We have a great team that treats each other like family. We enjoy our wonderful clients but the best part is helping all the fur babies. Our benefits package includes hourly compensation commensurate with experience, paid holidays, paid vacation, health insurance, IRA, uniform allowance and discounted care for your fur babies.
The Veterinary Technician assists the doctors to the fullest possible extent, to help improve the quality of care given to the patients, and to aid the doctors in achieving greater efficiency by relieving them of technical work at Best Friends Animal Hospital. The Veterinary Technician assists in multiple procedures providing care for animals including physical examinations, surgeries, subcutaneous and intravenous injections, client education, marketing, and inventory maintenance. This position requires a working knowledge of pharmaceutical drugs, common diseases as well as their symptoms, means of transmission, treatment and prevention, and other basic preventative health care recommendations. This is an overview of the position and the job responsibilities listed do not encompass the entire position.
Current veterinary technician licensing/registration. Reliable transportation to and from work required.
