What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full-Time Veterinary Technician or Assistant position at Chapin Veterinary Care Center?
We are looking for a veterinary technician or assistant to join our team! This is a full-time position with a benefits package that includes health insurance and discounted veterinary care for the furry members of your family.
The position available is a nine hour shift from 9am to 6pm five days a week that includes a one hour lunch, and one Saturday (7:30am to 12pm) a month. We are not offering part-time positions at this time. Starting pay is commensurate with experience.
Located in the rapidly growing and family-friendly lakeside community of Chapin, our clinic is a busy small animal (cats and dogs only) veterinary practice that highly values our relationships with both clients and staff members. We currently have two full-time veterinarians on staff and several relief vets.
Because we are privately owned, we are able to offer a very supportive and team-driven environment that promotes a healthy work-life balance, and to that end we ensure that every full-time employee gets a one hour lunch break every day. You will work the same consistent 8/9 hour schedule that you're hired for every day without surprises! All we ask is that you bring a good work ethic that includes being reliable and punctual, a positive outlook and a willingness to work efficiently as a team. And of course, a love of animals is a must!
Applicants should have previous experience in the veterinary field as an assistant or technician, and at least a basic skillset that includes animal restraint, assisting in appointments, and venipuncture.
We look forward to hearing from you!
