About the role
Working in an urgent care environment is as exhilarating as running a million miles an hour with sand between your paws. PetMedic Urgent Care Vet Clinic is looking to add compassionate and skilled Veterinary Technicians to our team. Our new hospital will be opening in January 2025. At PetMedic, you can help shape the exciting new world of veterinary urgent care. Our fast-paced environment means you’ll do something different every day, but with more regularity and stability than an emergency setting. It’s like hitting the sweet spot with a tail-thumping belly rub that never ends – and that’s just the beginning. As part of our team, you’ll work with the latest technology, stay ahead using educational training, and partner with experienced doctors to deliver the highest quality of care to the pet patients we all love.Veterinary TechnicianPetMedic in Huntersville, NC*$2500 Sign on Bonus*WHAT YOU’LL DO
