Certified Veterinary Technician

Our team is looking to incorporate one to two certified veterinary technicians for all duties found in a small animal general practice. In this role, you will play a crucial part in providing excellent care for pets and their owners.

In addition to excellent medical care, we pride ourselves on client education and a supportive work environment. Your expertise and finesse in handling sick visits, wellness check ups, surgery, laser therapy appointments, a fear free approach, and more is what interests us. Continued growth is a core part of meeting and maintaining the level of care our community expects from Acton Animal Hospital.

To help achieve this goal, we strive for a supportive and accommodating work place with opportunities to grow through flexible hours, compensated continued education opportunities, and sharing knowledge and ideas between doctors and technicians alike.

Your work-life balance is important to us. We encourage each employee to maintain it through a 34-36 hour work week for full time employees and an emphasis on leaving on time. The scheduled lunch break is well respected. These habits serve to provide a predictable schedule for all. This concept helps maintain the interest in your work while being able to enjoy a personal life.

We hope you will consider joining our outstanding team and look forward to hearing from you.
