Veterinary Assistant/Veterinary Technician

At Animal Health Care Veterinary Hospital are a little bit different, and we quite like it that way! We can’t control all of the problems in veterinary medicine, but we can attempt to create an environment of what we want and need as a profession.

Why should you choose AHCVH to continue your career?

We acknowledge burnout in this profession is real. Our practice culture and workflow is developed around this to improve job satisfaction. We are proud to operate very differently from the corporate models.

· We are small and flexible to be able to do what is best for our staff and our clients without having to follow rigid corporate policies.

· We are family friendly. Many of our staff have children and/or other interests, and we work very hard to encourage a work-life balance.

· We laugh and enjoy each other along with feeling the purpose of what we do.

· Our Full-time schedule offers a 4-day work week to allow a weekday off.

· We do not have evening or weekend hours.

· Once eligible, we do have some remote work options.

· Develop your skills to the level of your credentials allow.

· Predictable lunch hour

· Predictable shift end times

· Caseload that allows appropriate time to complete cases with pride and compassion.

· Collaboration with your team.

· Valued career growth and development to allow you to thrive and be excited in your career.

· Use technology to improve workflow and efficiency.

· Decreased overstimulation of noise- lobby is quiet and most phone calls are answered by our remote receptionist.

Who are we looking for?

· Loving animals most of us in this profession find easy. Loving people can sometimes more challenging, so applicants must enjoy working with and educating clients. Our technicians are close liaisons between the client and the veterinarian, and they create trusted bonds with their cases.

· Our team culture fit is just as important, if not more, than the skill level. We can train skills; however, we can’t often train work ethic, integrity, accountability, collaboration, communication, and soft skills.

· CVT Licensure is ideal but not required.

Hours:

· Our office hours are Monday – Friday.

· Hours range from 7:10am to 5:30pm.

· No nights, weekends, holidays, or on-call.

· Our full-time technicians are offered 4 days a week, 9 -10 hour shifts.

Expectations:

· We take pride in using our credentialed technicians to their full potential.

· Our technicians lead, direct and follow through with cases in collaboration with the veterinarian.

· Develop skills within exam room education, preventative medicine, surgery, anesthesia, dentistry, radiology.

· Technology/computer savvy.

· Strong communication skills are essential.

Wage:

· Dependent upon previous veterinary experience, the ability to handle caseload and duties independently and efficiently. We typically start at $21-$25 during the introductory period to train to determine still levels. Once the skill level is established, discussion of wage adjustments can be assessed.

· We implement a Pay Wage Level system to help employees have a clear path of skills/duties needed to move up to the next wage level.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Our building unfortunately lacks some curb appeal. HOWEVER, our focus has been spent creating a warm and safe environment on the inside. Quality equipment, staff, training, benefits, and products are more important to us than curb appeal when tough financial choices need to be made. The outside curb appeal will continue to be worked on over time; we want our priority to be staff, clients, and staff.
