What are the responsibilities and job description for the Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) position at Huntley Veterinary Hospital?
Certified Veterinary Technician Wanted: Care for Animals, Laugh with Us!
Are you passionate about pets and dream of working with a team that treats each other like family (and occasionally as a live audience for cheesy pet puns)? Join our busy but paws-itively fun veterinary hospital as a Certified Veterinary Technician!
Why Join Us?
- Team Vibes: We’re a crew of animal lovers who know how to work hard, have fun, and keep the tail wags and good vibes rolling.
- Growth Opportunities: Want to expand your skills? We’ve got your back (and your scrubs).
- Purpose-Driven Work: Every day here is about making animals happier and healthier—and that makes us happy too!
What You’ll Be Doing
✔ Assist vets during exams and surgeries (think of yourself as the right paw!).
✔ Run lab tests (because pets don’t come with diagnosis instructions).
✔ Handle and restrain pets safely—your calm hands make all the difference.
✔ Administer meds and vaccines (helping pets stay healthy, one injection at a time).
✔ Monitor patients' post-surgery while giving plenty of TLC.
✔ Educate pet parents on keeping their fur-babies happy and healthy.
What We’re Looking For
- Certified Veterinary Technician
- Skills in restraint, IV catheters, injections, lab work, and surgery. (you’re basically a pet lifesaver).
- A pro at staying calm, organized, and positive—even when a Great Dane decides to “help” clean the floor. (Has that really happened you ask? Probably, not.)
A Few Honest Realities
- You’ll deal with poop (lots of it).
- You might get scratched, slobbered on, or barked at—but it's all worth it when you see a wagging tail or a purring patient go home healthy!
So, if you’re ready to save lives, work hard, and laugh even harder, apply today! This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make tails wag and lives better, every single day.
