REGISTERED VETERINARY TECHNICIAN
1-2 Full or Part-Time Positions Available
At Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center, we understand how important our technicians are. We rely on them for drawing blood, placing IV catheters, intubating patients and monitoring anesthesia, performing dental prophylaxis and full mouth radiology, managing lab samples, and assisting with restraint for xrays or ultrasound.
What makes us unique at Mariposa is our philosophy. We believe in whole body health–that means we believe nutrition and behavior are just as essential (in fact they are the foundation of) preventative care. All of our team members receive Level 1 Fear Free training, and we are proud to be both AAHA-accredited and a Gold-level Cat-Friendly Practice. You will never see us forcing a frightened dog to get its nails trimmed.
If you’ve ever dreamed about working in a veterinary setting that views every patient as an individual, where acupuncture, herbal consultations and veterinary medical manipulation (think chiropractic) are offered in addition to all the modern aspects of veterinary care, please consider applying.
Our team members work a four-day work week with occasional weekend hours. We offer health insurance, paid holidays, an allowance for scrubs, and of course discounted care for pets. Weekly staff meetings help us stay on the same page and problem-solve as a team, without pointing fingers or placing blame. We are NOT corporate-owned and never will be! That means no “higher power” telling us to do things that we don’t agree with. Finding the RIGHT person for our team is our goal! Is it you?
