Queen City Animal Hospital is an AAHA Accredited, Fear-Free Accredited hospital looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician to join our team of amazing veterinary professionals. If you are a team player, love improving the lives of animals, strengthening bonds with clients, have strong technician experience, and want to work with like minded people, this position could be for you!

Don’t know much about AAHA or Fear-Free? Don’t worry- we are glad to fill you in. Already know and appreciate these things? Super! :)

At Queen City AH, we value our registered veterinary technicians and are making strides to utilize our RVT team to the best of our ability, within the legal limitation set forth by the state veterinary board. You will be responsible for exceeding client expectations as you facilitate appointments, asses patients, discuss wellness care, educate clients, assistant in surgery, monitor anesthesia, perform dental cleanings, venipuncture, catheter placement, fill prescriptions, take xrays, obtain lab samples, and always have a compassionate demeanor for all patients and clients. After time, trust, and training, our RVTs also have the opportunity to run their own (specific) appointments and telehealth calls on a rotating schedule with the other RVTs.

Our techs/assistants also help our receptionists as needed, as we are a small, family style hospital where team work is key. Our techs and assistants must be able to work in a fast-paced, complex environment, requiring strong organizational and multi-tasking skills. The ideal candidate will be professional, positive, and focused on providing exceptional patient and client service.

All team members must be, or be willing to become, Fear-Free Certified, as Fear-Free Veterinary Care is central to our patient care and hospital beliefs. It is important to note that we fully embrace fear-free care, and as such, we do not permit the scruffing of cats in our hospital. Please know that we are glad to teach many other safe, fear-free restraint methods, in the event scruffing is all you have been taught in the past.

Only candidates who are or will soon become (graduating from an accredited program this spring) a licensed veterinary technician will be considered. Previous experience with Covetrus Pulse software preferred but not required. Please send cover letter, resume and salary requirements for consideration.
