Experienced Veterinary Technician wanted (prefer licensed, but practical experience considered). Candidate should have good technical skills, great communication skills with staff and clients, and a strong work ethic. Needs to be very reliable, without profuse absences. Should possess ability to work independently and multi-task well. We are looking for a friendly candidate who wants to work well with our team members, is mature, has a positive mentality, and is professional. We have a small team, many that have been with the practice for 42, 23, 16, and 12 years; we are like a family in some respects. The candidate wants to find a place to put down roots, have a career versus just a job, and desires a work environment that is friendly, cooperative, and welcoming. Is this you?
