Emergency Veterinary Technician

Join Our Team as an Emergency Veterinary Technician at  VEC Sarasota !  Every now and then, a team comes along that changes the way things are done. A group that says “good enough” isn’t enough — not for patients, not for clients, and not for the people who dedicate their lives to this work. At the Veterinary Emergency Clinic - Sarasota, that’s exactly who we are.  We’re building something bigger than a hospital. We’re building a place where: Families walk through our doors in moments of fear and walk out with hope, because they’ve been heard and supported at every step.  Patients don’t just receive treatment, they experience comfort, dignity, enrichment, and compassion that exceeds expectations.  Team members don’t just clock in- they thrive, grow, and feel proud to be part of something extraordinary.  As a Veterinary Technician, you won’t just be “taking on cases.” You’ll be an integral part of a movement to redefine emergency and specialty care. You’ll steady the hands of worried pet parents, give voice to the needs of your patients, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a team that believes heroes come in scrubs.  We’re looking for individuals who have skill, heart, creativity and (perhaps most importantly) something to prove. People who want more than a job — who want to be part of a culture where innovation, compassion, and courage fuel everything we do.   Qualifications  Minimum 2 years of ER experience or 5 years of GP experience   Looking for a skilled technician – licensed or unlicensed   Cultural fit is a priority over skill  Skills  Effective communication with clients and staff   Ability to safely lift objects or pets of at least 50lbs   Work with or without direct supervision   Restrain and control cats and dogs of any temperament   Recognize concerning behaviors in pets   Make conversions and calculations   Adapt to different needs and preferences of doctors   Strong organizational skills  Knowledge of hospital procedures and operating instructions  Compensation and Benefits  Salary: $20 - $26 per hour (commensurate with experience and credentialing)  Benefits and Perks: Complimentary Short Term Disability   Complimentary Life Insurance; with options to purchase additional voluntary benefits for self or family   Company Sponsored Employee Assistance Program (Headspace)  401K with 100% company match up to 3% and 4% company match for your 5% of contributions, eligible after 6 months of employment  Florida Blue Insurance Plans with 3 tiered options; Kaiser for CA Residents  Flexible Spending Account,  Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Account  options   United Healthcare Dental Insurance; includes a 100% paid premium option for team members  United Healthcare Vision Insurance options  Long Term Disability option (paid for by employee)  Progyny-Fertility and Family Building Support   Team Member Discounts for Pet Care  Paid time off-inclusive of sick, personal, and vacation  Digital Musculoskeletal Support Referral Bonus Program DailyPay on Demand This is more than veterinary medicine.
