Credentialed Veterinary Technician | West Chelsea Veterinary, New York, NY
Use Your Skills. Keep Learning. Love the Team You Work With.
Here is what makes West Chelsea Veterinary different. There is no us-versus-them here. No doctors on one side and support staff on the other. Everyone shows up, rolls up their sleeves, and takes care of each other the same way they take care of their patients. If you have ever worked somewhere where you felt like a number, this will feel completely different. We are a close-knit team that pushes each other to grow, jumps in without being asked, and genuinely enjoys being here.
We are a full-service veterinary hospital that has been a trusted part of Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood since 1997. We offer wellness care, surgery, dentistry, acupuncture, and pain management, all delivered by a team that holds itself to an extremely high standard of care. We are looking for a Full-Time Credentialed Veterinary Technician who is ready to put their skills to work in a hospital where what you know and what you can do is truly valued.
What You'll Be Doing
- Partner with veterinarians and teammates to deliver exceptional patient care.
- Prepare and monitor patients for surgical and dental procedures.
- Administer treatments, medications, and nursing care as directed by the veterinarian.
- Collect and process laboratory samples, including blood, urine, and fecal tests.
- Obtain diagnostic imaging, including dental radiographs.
- Perform venipuncture and place intravenous catheters.
- Monitor anesthesia and support patients throughout recovery.
- Assist with patient restraint and handling using low-stress techniques.
- Maintain accurate medical records and support client communication.
- Educate pet parents on medications, treatments, preventive care, and post-operative instructions.
- Maintain and prepare medical equipment, treatment areas, and surgical suites.
- Support a compassionate, collaborative, and patient-focused hospital culture.
Schedule
- Full-time, 8-hour day shifts
- Rotating weekends
- No holiday work required
What We Are Looking For
- 1 to 2 years of experience as a credentialed veterinary technician
- A calm, confident presence with animals and the people who love them
- Strong communication skills with both clients and teammates
- Organized and detail-oriented with a genuine commitment to patient care
- Comfortable in a busy, fast-paced hospital environment
- Eager to keep growing your skills and learning from those around you
- A team-first mindset, someone who pitches in and lifts others up
Compensation
The compensation range for this position is $27.00 - $31.00 per hour. Final compensation will be commensurate with experience.
Our Culture
- No Hierarchy, Just Teamwork. Doctors, technicians, and support staff all work side by side here. Everyone is approachable, everyone is willing to help, and no one is too important to pitch in.
- A Place to Actually Grow. We are invested in your development as a technician. Whether you are building new clinical skills or deepening the ones you already have, we create real opportunities to learn.
- High Standards, Warm Hearts. We hold ourselves to an exceptional level of care and we do it together, with a kindness and dedication that our clients and our team feel every single day.
Perks + Benefits
- Competitive pay, based on experience
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
- Free virtual mental health for your household (ages 13+)
- Generous CE allowance + paid CE time
- Uniform allowance
- Pet care discounts for your personal pets
- PTO, floating holidays, parental leave, and military leave
- A robust Employee Assistance Program (from finances to wellness and everything in between)
