Veterinary Technician Wanted – Come Grow With Us!

Love veterinary medicine but want to work somewhere your skills are truly valued? We want to meet you!

At Shawsheen Animal Hospital in Tewksbury, MA, we're more than just a veterinary hospital — we're a team of passionate animal lovers who genuinely enjoy what we do, support one another, and believe in making a difference every day.

We're an AAHA-accredited, Gold Certified Cat Friendly Practice that embraces Fear Free techniques and provides high-quality care to dogs, cats, and exotic pets.

We're looking for an experienced Veterinary Technician who is ready to jump in, use their skills, continue learning, and become part of our team!

Why You'll Love Working With Us

We believe technicians should be technicians! We're a technician-driven hospital where your knowledge, experience, and skills are recognized and put to good use.

• Use your skills! From appointments and client education to anesthesia, dentistry, laboratory work, and patient care, you'll have opportunities to do what you love.
• Keep growing! We encourage learning, professional development, and expanding your technical abilities.
• Teamwork matters! We believe in supporting one another, sharing knowledge, and working together to provide exceptional patient care.
• Variety keeps things interesting! We care for dogs, cats, and a wide range of exotic pets. Experience with exotics is a bonus, but not required!
• Work-life balance matters! We understand the importance of having a life outside of veterinary medicine.
• No late nights! Our latest shifts end at 6 PM, and you'll only be scheduled for two Saturdays per month. We want you to have time to enjoy life outside of work, too!

What You'll Be Doing

• Working closely with our veterinarians during appointments, procedures, and surgeries.
• Taking patient histories, obtaining TPRs, and educating clients on preventive care and treatment recommendations.
• Performing blood draws, administering vaccines and medications, and collecting diagnostic samples.
• Monitoring anesthesia and assisting with surgical and dental procedures.
• Performing in-house laboratory testing and maintaining accurate medical records.
• Providing compassionate, low-stress handling and excellent patient care.
• Collaborating with an experienced team that values your input and expertise.

Who We're Looking For

• An experienced Veterinary Technician who is confident in their skills and eager to continue learning.
• Someone who is compassionate, dependable, motivated, and enjoys working as part of a team.
• Strong communication and client education skills.
• Comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced veterinary hospital.
• Experience with AVImark is a plus!
• Veterinary Technician certification or licensure is preferred, but not required. We value hands-on experience and a willingness to learn!

What We Offer

We know that taking great care of pets starts with taking great care of our people! We believe in recognizing hard work, supporting professional growth, and creating an environment where our team can thrive.

• Work-life balance: No shifts later than 6 PM and only two Saturdays per month.
• A supportive team: Work alongside experienced veterinarians and technicians who value teamwork and collaboration.
• Opportunities to grow: Continue building your technical skills and expanding your knowledge.
