Brookhaven Animal Hospital is looking for an experienced Veterinary Technician who is confident in general anesthesia, surgical nursing, dentistry, and advanced patient care.
This is not an entry-level position.
We're looking for someone who already has a solid clinical foundation and enjoys being an active part of every surgical case from patient admission through recovery. If you're happiest in the surgery suite, enjoy challenging anesthesia cases, and take pride in delivering exceptional nursing care, we'd love to meet you.
At Brookhaven, our technicians are trusted members of the medical team. You'll work alongside experienced veterinarians who value your knowledge, encourage your input, and believe exceptional medicine is built through collaboration.
