Waterbury Veterinary Hospital is hiring a Veterinary Technician to join our practice located in beautiful Waterbury Center, Vermont. We are a 4-doctor practice offering a full range of services: Wellness exams, same day, sick pet exams, hospitalization, soft tissue surgery, routine dental procedures, and more! Because we value the time and wellbeing of our team, we offer a 4-day work week with rotating Saturday shifts (usually 1 per month.)

There is always room to grow here, and we support our team with CE and opportunities to learn and grow. We also offer a scrub allowance, PTO, and generous staff discount.

We are fast paced and committed to providing exceptional patient care and client communication with every interaction. We practice a higher level of medicine than most general practice facilities, dedicating our knowledge and skills to our patients and clients, and educating our staff along the way.
