• Manage patient comfort, monitor recovery, and communicate progress to clients
• Work closely with veterinarians, technicians, and support teams
• Contribute to a positive, team-focused hospital culture

• A minimum of one year of veterinary technician experience; emergency experience is preferred but not strictly required
• Veterinary Technician credential (LVT) or licensure, highly preferred
• Adaptability, attention to detail, and the ability to stay composed under pressure
• A collaborative mindset and commitment to exceptional patient care, with a compassionate, energetic mindset and strong communication and teamwork skills
