Do you envision enjoying going to work every day while growing your capacity as a Licensed Veterinary Technician? 

We are a growing 14-doctor, 8-Licensed Veterinary Technician, AAHA-accredited animal hospital looking for an additional Licensed Veterinary Technician -- that's right: you'd have a whole TEAM of other awesome veterinary technicians to support you and work through the day together, in addition to support from our amazing veterinary assistant team.

We recently grew our technology to include Scribe Note. Scribe Note is the new artificially intelligent technology that records conversations with clients and turns it into veterinary medical documentation with just one click. It saves our veterinary professionals lots of time on charting. That's a win for everyone!

As doctors converse with clients about their pet and verbalize their history and examination, Scribe Note captures pertinent details and creates a remarkably accurate transcribed note. The transcribed note can be edited and then copied into the hospital’s practice management system.

The ideal candidate will be team-oriented, low-drama, possessing experience and efficiency in the field as well as knowing how to communicate well! -- 

We're dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality care so the applicant must be detail-oriented, compassionate, focused, and self-motivated.

Our hospital balances superior medicine while maintaining a fun/positive work environment and operates Mon-Sat with no Sunday or after hours duties. A new addition to our staff should have a strong work ethic, be excellent with client communication and education, able to multi-task while being cheerful and have reliable transportation. Compensation varies by experience.

Open to Vet Tech Students, experienced and new graduates welcome.  Career development is highly encouraged at Clarendon Animal Care - opportunities include leadership training, medical advisory group participation, as well as mentorship.

Come join our team!
