As an Equine Veterinary Practice, our mission at both hospitals of Trinity Equine is to strive for medical excellence, with advanced diagnostic capabilities, offering gold standard treatment, surgical, and rehabilitation options.

We are dedicated to exemplary patient care, client service, and employee well-being; with an emphasis on serving and caring for the horses and people we encounter. 

We are seeking both Registered Equine Veterinary Technicians (RVT) and Veterinary Assistants (VA) to join our team.  Your role as RVT or VA will be actively involved with patient workups, procedures, and patient care for both outpatients and hospitalized inpatients.

Depending on your level of experience and training, additional duties may include catheter placement, processing laboratory work, emergency triage, surgical assistant, and inventory management.

We are looking for horse-savvy employees with a good attitude, collaborative mindset, attention to detail, strong work-ethic, and organizational skills, who follow direction, take initiative and uphold the highest standard of care. We hope you will enjoy working together with our doctors and team members.
