Veterinary Technician

Veterinary Technician Wanted

Bilingual (Spanish/English) Tampa, FL

Small hospital. Big hearts. Zero drama (except maybe from the cats).

We're a small, tight-knit animal hospital in Tampa looking for a bilingual (Spanish/English) Veterinary Technician to join our pack. We're not a corporate mega-clinic with a hundred locations and a call center — we're the kind of place where everyone knows your name, your coffee order, and probably your dog's middle name too.

A good chunk of our clients feel most comfortable speaking Spanish, and right now we're getting by on hand gestures and hopeful smiles. That's where you come in — we need someone who can talk pet parents through a diagnosis in whichever language makes them feel most at ease, no Google Translate required.

What You'll Do

• Perform patient triage, assist with exams, and prep animals for procedures.
• Administer medications, vaccines, and treatments under the veterinarian's direction.
• Run and interpret basic in-house diagnostics (bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal exams — the glamorous side of the job).
• Place IV catheters, monitor anesthesia, and assist in surgery.
• Take radiographs, and reassure the patient that this will not, in fact, hurt.
• Communicate clearly and warmly with clients in both English and Spanish.
• Keep medical records accurate and up to date.
• Jump in wherever needed — on a small team, everybody wears a few hats.

What We're Looking For

• Ideally fluency in both English and Spanish, spoken and written.
• Certified/Registered/Licensed Veterinary Technician (CVT/RVT/LVT) preferred; experienced techs without certification are also encouraged to apply.
• Comfortable with restraint, venipuncture, and anesthesia monitoring, and good at the “many hands, one squirmy patient” style of teamwork.
• A calm presence in chaotic moments (looking at you, Fourth of July fireworks season).
• Genuine compassion for animals and the humans who love them.
• A good sense of humor — you will need it, and so will we.

Why You'll Love It Here

• A small, supportive team that actually likes each other (we know, we know).
• Your Spanish isn't just a “nice to have” on a resume — it's used, valued, and appreciated every single day.
• Room to grow your skills and take on more responsibility as you settle in.
• A workplace that feels less like a shift and more like showing up for people (and pets) you actually care about.
