Description

Position at Andover Animal Hospital

Experienced Veterinary Technician (Unlicensed - Still Awesome)

Location : Andover Animal Hospital Andover, MA

Pay range : $18-24 (depending on experience)

Have 2+ years of veterinary tech experience but not officially licensed? That's cool - we see you, we value you, and we want you on our team. If you've ever placed a catheter with one hand while calming down a nervous chihuahua with the other (and answering the phone with your elbow), you're our kind of people.

Who we are :

Andover Animal Hospital is a full-service, 10-doctor, AAHA-accredited animal hospital in Andover, MA. We care for dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets, and exotics (yes, really - lizards, snakes, rabbits, and the occasional sugar glider who thinks it's a flying squirrel on Red Bull). If you like a little unpredictability in your patient roster and don't flinch at feathers or scales, you'll fit right in.

What you'll actually be doing :

You'll be a true tech - not just a glorified restrainer or treat dispenser. We believe in letting skilled team members use their skills. You'll work alongside our doctors to provide compassionate care to a whole zoo of species and be empowered to take the lead on things like :

  • Diagnostic sample collection
  • Venipuncture & IV catheter placement (bonus if you don't need to tape your own fingers together)
  • Radiology (including exotic critters with very strong opinions about staying still)
  • Anesthesia and surgical monitoring
  • Pain management and patient comfort
  • Dental radiographs, cleanings, and possibly identifying what that dog just ate
  • General exotic-wrangling finesse and MacGyver-level problem solving

Who you are :

  • You've got 2+ years of experience in a veterinary setting
  • You're not licensed, but you've got the knowledge, instincts, and hustle of someone who is
  • You're cool under pressure and can handle a minor chaos spiral without sacrificing your snack stash
  • You're adaptable, collaborative, and you laugh at least once per shift
  • You care about patients, clients, your team, and maybe naming every orange cat "Cheddar"

    • What we offer : Pay range $18-24 depending on experience

    A full slate of benefits you can actually use, including :

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Complimentary short-term disability and life insurance
  • 401K with company match
  • Paid time off (for real - we want you to use it)
  • Employee Assistance Program with Headspace
  • Discounts for your own zoo at home
  • LGBTQIA+ support through FOLX Healthcare
  • Fertility and family-building support via Progyny
  • DailyPay access, so you don't have to wait to replace your favorite scrubs after the incident
  • A team that supports each other, laughs a lot, and doesn't take themselves too seriously (unless there are donuts - then things get intense)

    • We're a proud United Veterinary Care partner hospital, which means we've got the perks of a bigger network with the heart of a tight-knit team. We show up, work hard, and occasionally get glitter-bombed by a bird.
