About You:
We strongly believe that veterinary medicine is a team sport, and our ideal candidate is someone who feels the same. Communication is key in a clinical setting, and we are looking for those multitaskers that can manage that as well as maintain a high standard of care for their patients. We are seeking a technician who is already confident with triaging patients, restraint, venipuncture, IV catheter placement, able to administer IV, SQ, IM injections, sedation, and anesthesia. The ideal candidate must be comfortable with speaking with clients as this role entails reviewing discharge instructions including any medications being sent home and instructions for home care. Experience with CPR, EzyVet, and Smartflow are an additional plus, but not required. We highly value collaboration from all staff members, so please speak up as your input is not only valued but can make a difference.
