Join our dedicated overnight emergency team, where your expertise will help save lives and provide critical care to pets in need. We offer a dynamic work environment, opportunities for growth, and a sign-on bonus of up to $2,500 to welcome you to our team. If you're passionate about providing top-notch veterinary care during the hours when it's needed most, we want to hear from you! 

Our vision is a simple one here at Pieper Memorial located in Middletown, CT.  We aspire to make the community, the animals, and the people in it happier and healthier. If these values mean something to you, we invite you to check us out.

What to Expect:

• Commitment to Continuing Education: We want to retain and develop our talent to the best of our ability. You can expect numerous in-house CE opportunities, an annual symposium, and any mentoring available to support and achieve your VTS goals.
• Career Advancement: We pride ourselves on recognizing top talent and strong work ethic and if you demonstrate those things, you can expect to be promoted from within.
• Environment of Belonging: With so many specialties at your fingertips, it's easy to find where you fit. We also promote an environment of inclusivity so that everyone feels welcome.
• Environment of Collaboration: Our VECCS Level 1 Certified Hospital includes specialists in Emergency & Critical Care, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Radiology, Oncology, Surgery, and Exotics and a full staff of experienced Emergency and Primary Care Veterinarians. With the support of their technicians, assistants, and liaisons the hospital teams work closely together to deliver the highest quality of care.

About You:

We strongly believe that veterinary medicine is a team sport, and our ideal candidate is someone who feels the same. Communication is key in a clinical setting, and we are looking for those multitaskers that can manage that as well as maintain a high standard of care for their patients. We are seeking a technician who is already comfortable with restraint, venipuncture, IV catheter placement, and anesthesia. Experience with CPR, EzyVet, and Smartflow are an additional plus, but not required. We highly value collaboration from all staff members, so please speak up as your input is not only valued but can make a difference. This role in particular spends a lot of time with our phenomenal neurology team, so this is a great opportunity to get more experience with specialty medicine as well!

Anticipated Schedule:

This is a full-time overnight position with shift flexibility. 4 10-hour shifts per week. Some weekends and holidays are required.

Compensation:

Starting at $26*-$35*/hour dependent upon experience.  *This range includes shift differential for the overnight shift.  

What's in it for you?

• Supportive culture with social events & team building
• Competitive paid time off & holidays
• Career Growth & Training Opportunities
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Mental Health Focused Services
• 401(k) plan with strong employer match
• Up to 75% employee pet care discount
