Veterinary Technician/Assistant Position Details:

This position is with an ambulatory equine veterinary practice, meaning we travel to our patients for all appointments rather than treating them at a centralized hospital. The ideal candidate is experienced with horses, organized, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.

 

Position Requirements:

• Equine Experience: Significant hands-on horse handling experience is required. Ideally, candidates will have at least five years of experience working with horses in a veterinary or non-veterinary setting, preferably with sport horses.

• Licensure or Certification: A relevant license or certification is beneficial but not required.

• Schedule: This is a full-time, Monday-through-Friday position. There are no overnight or weekend on-call hours; however, the technician will assist the veterinarian with daytime emergencies as needed.

• Driving Requirements: A clean driving record is required. Candidates must be comfortable operating a large vehicle and driving for extended periods, as travel between appointments is a regular part of the role.

• Computer Skills: Strong computer skills are essential for using practice management software to schedule appointments, access client and patient records, track inventory, and perform other administrative tasks.

• Client Communication: This is a highly client-facing role. Candidates must be comfortable communicating professionally with clients in person, by phone, text, and email.

• Physical Requirements: Candidates must be able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds to set up equipment.

 

Additional Responsibilities

• Preparing and sending lab samples and communicating laboratory results as directed.

• Managing the practice vehicle, including organization, cleanliness, and equipment.

• Monitoring and maintaining inventory of medications and equipment.

• Assisting veterinarians with appointments, procedures, and emergency calls as needed.
