Veterinary Technician and Advanced Assistants

$1000 signing bonus for Registered/Certified Veterinary Technician!

Hurricane Animal Hospital is seeking a dependable, energetic, and self-motivated animal lover with experience in animal care, animal handling, and customer service.  Our veterinary technicians must possess a broad knowledge of medicine and animal science, as well as strong mathematical skills.  We provide medical care to dogs and cats, as well as most reptiles and small mammals.  Our hospital continues to grow, and we are looking to expand our hours by providing evening and weekend shifts.  

Veterinary technicians must be able to successfully restrain animals, complete laboratory tests, deliver compassionate nursing care, and keep owners and doctors updated on their status. Services provided can include medication delivery, laser therapy, IV catheterization and fluid therapy, filling prescriptions, and animal restraint in a fear-free and low-stress approved manner.  Other veterinary assisting requirements will include walking dogs, some pet grooming, nail trimming, and implanting microchips. We provide client education regarding preventive medicine, microchipping, heartworm testing, parasite prevention, weight loss, and the importance of dental care. We provide some exotic medicine and are always looking to expand our services with those who are interested in reptile medicine, chemotherapy and cancer care, or physical rehabilitation.  

Hurricane Animal Hospital's mission is to go a step above.  We wish to exceed the expectations of every client contact by providing excellent customer service, client education, and compassion.  Our team makes this possible! Evening hours communication of patient care and status will be an important part of this job.  In addition, there will be a large amount of cleaning, preparation for the next day's procedures, and maintenance tasks to complete during the hours we are closed to customers.  

We are looking to fill several positions and would love to have someone with interests in growing their skills in nursing, cancer care, surgery, physical therapy, exotics, or internal medicine.  We believe our team is most effective when they can grow in areas they enjoy, and we encourage our team to become more valuable through continuing education and the addition of services to our hospital.

We offer a competitive salary and are willing to discuss pay based on the individual's experience brought to the job.  We also offer retirement matching IRA and medical insurance coverage(100% employer-paid premiums) for those who are looking for full-time positions.  We provide uniforms, sick and vacation time.  We are willing to interview veterinary assistants.  The hours may extend from 4pm to midnight during the weekdays and include shifts on Saturdays and Sundays.
