Kawartha Animal Hospital is looking for a temporary full-time Veterinary Technician to join our amazing tech team for approximately 4 months to cover for a maternity leave.

We are a privately owned small animal hospital with 3 veterinarians, providing excellent preventative care for our patients. In-house equipment includes a full array of Idexx analyzers, digital radiographs (both full body and dental), a dedicated dental suite, therapeutic laser, VetSpecs anesthesia monitors, HotDog warming system, etc. We are lucky to have a local emergency nearby so there are no on call after hours. We are a family friendly practice who understands the importance of your family time (and the importance of your lunch break!). As such the clinic does close at 5pm and does not have evening hours with a short day on Saturdays. Techs will rotate on Saturdays ideally working one out of three/four. We close on long weekends to enjoy this time with your friends/family.

Excellent communication skills and attention to detail are imperative, as is a good sense of humour and the ability to work in a team setting!

If this sounds like the kind of place you?d like to work, please reply to our email. Please note, we are only looking for candidates who have Vet Tech experience or are currently a Vet Tech student. Applicants who do not match these qualifications will not be considered.

We strive to work toward the following Core Values. If these strike a chord with you, we might be the employer you're looking for!

At Kawartha Animal Hospital, we have identified six core values, ideas that we strive to embody, uphold, and constantly improve upon, in providing care to our patients, in our relationships with our valued clients, and in our relationships with our teammates.

• Compassion: We strive to provide medical care and client support with a focus on empathy, kindness, and compassion for the pets in our care, and their human family members, as if they are part of our own family.
• Integrity: We aim to always provide ethical care with transparency, honesty, respect, and reliability.
• Collaboration: To be truly successful in providing the best medical care is to work as a team, collaborating on the delivery of services, and working together to come up with innovative solutions.
• Character: We pride ourselves on constant self-improvement through training and education, and being accountable, devoted, and ultimately being able to provide services with pride.
• Support: Being a successful team requires having a good support network, and the components of that include communication, consistency of expectations, having limits on those expectations, and providing a nurturing atmosphere, while showing appreciation for team contributions.
• Service: At Kawartha Animal Hospital, we feel we have a duty to serve in many capacities. We serve our clients by providing excellent patient healthcare and client education, while also serving our community through charitable initiatives throughout the year. And finally, we have a duty of service to family. We provide care to ensure clients have as much happy, healthy time with their beloved pets, while also ensuring our team has the opportunity for a healthy work-life balance.
