Experienced Veterinary Technician
Quarry Ridge Animal Hospital - Ridgefield, CT

Pay$24-32/hrDOE

Let's cut to the chase: if you're an experienced veterinary technician who loves what you do, thrives on teamwork, and appreciates a practice where people actually enjoy coming to work...you might want to keep reading.

At Quarry Ridge Animal Hospital, we take our medicine seriously-but not ourselves. We're a well-established practice in beautiful Ridgefield, CT, with a team that genuinely supports each other, communicates well, and shows up ready to make a difference for our patients and clients every day.

What makes us a great place to work?

• A team that actually has each other's backs.
  • No drama, no cliques-just experienced, capable people who step in to help without being asked and celebrate each other's wins (big and small).
• Tenured staff who stick around for a reason.
  • We've built something special here, and it shows in the longevity of our team. When people come, they tend to stay-and that says a lot.
• You'll be trusted to use your skills.
  • We don't hire great technicians just to hold them back. You'll be empowered to fully utilize your training, think critically, and make an impact every single day.
• Support where it counts.
  • Whether it's having enough hands on deck during a busy shift or leadership that actually listens, we make sure you're set up to succeed-not stretched thin.
• Good medicine, without the chaos.
  • We're proud of the level of care we provide, and we do it in a way that's organized, efficient, and sustainable.
• A culture that feels...human.
  • We laugh a lot, communicate openly, and respect that everyone has a life outside the hospital. It's a place where you can show up as yourself and enjoy the work you do.

What you'll be doing (aka where you shine):

• Assisting doctors with exams, procedures, and surgeries
• Providing top-notch patient care and client education
• Playing with puppies and kittens all day ;)
• Handling anesthesia monitoring, dental procedures, and lab work
• Keeping things running smoothly (because let's be honest-you're the glue)

What we're looking for:

• An experienced veterinary technician (CVT/LVT preferred, but experience matters most)
• Someone confident in their technical skills and eager to keep learning
• A team player who communicates well and brings good energy
• A human who likes animals and people (we know, rare combo sometimes)

The benefits (because they matter):

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance options (effective the first of the month after start)
• 401(k) (eligible after 6 months)
• Company-sponsored Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Employee pet care discount
• Referral bonus opportunities

Ridgefield itself? Think charming New England vibes, great restaurants, and just enough distance from the chaos to breathe a little.

If you're looking for a place where you can do great work and enjoy the people you work with, Quarry Ridge might be exactly what you've been missing.
