Description

Veterinary Emergency Center of Canton is looking to add an experienced Per Diem Veterinary Technician to our team. This is a great opportunity for a technician who enjoys emergency medicine and wants flexible shifts in a collaborative, fast-paced hospital.

Our technicians play an essential role in delivering high-quality emergency and inpatient care while supporting a team of experienced ER clinicians. This role is ideal for someone who is confident in their technical skills, enjoys a dynamic caseload, and thrives working alongside a supportive and team-oriented group.

A veterinary technician license is not required, but prior experience working as a veterinary technician (not solely as an assistant) is required.

Our state-of-the-art emergency hospital serves the greater Hartford area and is equipped with advanced diagnostics, a fully equipped surgical suite, in-house lab, and a supportive team committed to exceptional patient care. The hospital is open 7 days per week from 8am-12am Monday-Friday and 8am-8pm on Saturday and Sunday. We have 24-hour nursing care for our inpatients 7 days a week including holidays.
