Westerville Veterinary Clinic is seeking an enthusiastic and detail oriented Veterinary Technician to join our team!
A Little About Us...
We are a seven Dr practice that stands out in many ways! Though the profession is at times difficult, we have found that pride in the important work we do, along with appreciation--sometimes to the point of tears--from our customers makes the hard work worth it. We go way beyond vaccines, routine surgeries and a cushy 9-5 schedule. We work hard, we help those who at times are truly in dire need of help, we go home tired, we rest, we play, or party, and spend time with our families, and then after fully resting we do it all over again. It is worth it! It will always be worth it no matter how hard this profession pushes us! Our practice will bring you laughter and celebration as some of our cases can often provide. It will also at times bring a little bit of heartache when the inevitable end of life occurs with our cases. Yet, even in those moments of sadness, we have found our clients to be the most grateful of all. Veterinary medicine is also "people medicine." We strive to help the whole family, not just their pets. We have a loyal client base that knows our staff by name-- and often brings us snacks or even homemade baked goods! We have regular staff training and regularly close down the clinic for several hours to host guest speakers. It is our goal to have the most knowledgeable staff in the area, and we reward our staff by providing benefits, and paid time off. In addition to daytime services our hours are expanding late December until 2am daily. Second and Third shift options are now available if you are a night owl that prefers quieter shifts with less staff.
