Licensed Veterinary Technician – Help Us Help Paws!

Grass Lake Animal Hospital in the charming village of Grass Lake, Michigan is looking for a Licensed Veterinary Technician or an Experienced Veterinary Assistant who doesn't mind a little fur on their scrubs and knows the difference between a pit bull and a porcupine (important). You'll work alongside veterinarians and fellow animal lovers to:

Cuddle stressed-out critters (yes, it's a job requirement) Keep exam rooms clean and stocked—because no one wants to search for the thermometer after the patient arrives Take vitals and assist during exams and procedures Assist Doctors with surgeries Administer medications and treatments as directed by the veterinarian Collect and process laboratory samples such as blood, urine, and feces Handle administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments and answering phones Educate pet parents without using too much Latin Provide TLC to both four-legged and two-legged clients

High school diploma or equivalent; additional certification in Animal Care or related field is a plus. Licensed in the state of MI and in good standing with the board for all LVTs Previous experience in a veterinary or animal care setting is a must. Physical ability to lift and handle animals of varying sizes You're not squeamish (because things will ooze) You know how to keep your cool during a Chihuahua tantrum You're a team player with a strong stomach and a soft heart Bonus points if you can do all this while holding a cup of coffee

Besides being the home of your new favorite clinic, Grass Lake is pure Michigan charm: Paddle your stress away at Grass Lake or kayak the Waterloo Recreation Area Hike or bike scenic trails like Waterloo-Pinckney Trail Shop local at the Downtown Grass Lake Farmers Market (llama sightings possible!) Catch live music and classic cars at the summer Traffic Jam'In Festival And yes, we're close enough to Ann Arbor if you need a city fix—but far enough that you can see the stars at night.
