Veterinary Technician - Emancipet

Emancipet is hiring for Veterinary Technicians for our Austin Mobile clinic - no experience necessary!

Who We Are
More than a career, it’s a movement. Emancipet is the leading non-profit veterinary care provider in the United States, on a mission to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for everyone. In 2024, we will celebrate our 25th year delivering veterinary care to pets whose families cannot afford or access market sector care, and we are looking forward to a huge milestone: welcoming our 2 millionth patient visit.

Why We Do It
We believe that people LOVE their pets and want what is best for them. We also know that veterinary care is financially out of reach for many pet owners. We believe that making the care that every pet needs affordable and accessible improves the lives of animals and the people who love them.

Who We Need
We are currently seeking compassionate individuals to train as veterinary technicians for our healthy pet services and spay/neuter surgery teams - and no previous animal experience is required! We will train you to provide excellent medical care, and amazing service to our community. Experienced technicians are encouraged to apply as well. At Emancipet, we live our core values every day - optimism, compassionate service, teaching and learning, and excellence - if those are values that are close to your heart, we want to meet you!

All interested applicants must attend an information session to be considered for employment.
We will be hosting an information session soon, apply for details!
