Looking for a veterinary team where your experience is truly valued?

Middletown Animal Clinic in the Bronx is looking for an experienced Veterinary Technician Assistant to join our team.

If you already have hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and are looking for a hospital where you can continue building your skills, work alongside an experienced medical team, and become an important part of the day-to-day care of our patients, we’d love to meet you.

This is not an entry-level veterinary assistant position. We’re looking for someone who is already comfortable in a veterinary hospital environment, understands the pace of patient care, and is ready to jump in alongside our doctors and support team.

Pay:

• Veterinary Technician Assistants: $21.00–$25.00/hour, based on experience

Hours: Approximately 35 hours per week
Weekday Schedule: Approximately 9:30 AM–7:00 PM
Saturday Schedule: Approximately 8:30 AM–2:00 PM

Why Middletown Animal Clinic?

We’re a full-service small animal hospital serving pets and families throughout the Bronx, and our support team plays a huge role in the medicine we provide every day.

You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced veterinarians and teammates in a hospital equipped with:

• In-house laboratory

• Digital radiography

• Digital dental radiography

• Ultrasound

• Surgery and dentistry

• A diverse small animal caseload

Our doctors perform routine and advanced soft tissue procedures, and our team places a strong emphasis on thoughtful patient care, anesthesia safety, and strong technical support.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of the team, not simply another person on the schedule.

What You'll Be Doing

Your day may include:

• Supporting veterinarians during appointments, treatments, and procedures

• Assisting LVTs and DVMs with surgical and dental patients

• Venipuncture and blood collection

• IV catheter placement

• Running in-house laboratory testing

• Preparing and administering medications and treatments as directed

• Assisting with digital radiographs

• Monitoring patients before, during, and after procedures based on experience

• Providing compassionate restraint and patient handling

• Supporting hospitalized and recovering patients

• Maintaining clean, organized treatment and patient-care areas

• Communicating and collaborating with doctors, technicians, assistants, and our client service team

We want our veterinary support team using the skills they already have while continuing to develop new ones.

What We're Looking For

We’d love to meet someone with previous hands-on experience in a veterinary hospital who is:

• Comfortable working with dogs and cats in a clinical setting

• Experienced with common veterinary treatments and patient care

• Confident with skills such as venipuncture, laboratory work, patient restraint, and assisting with procedures

• Comfortable in a busy hospital environment

• Compassionate and thoughtful when handling fearful, nervous, or stressed patients

• Dependable and able to work collaboratively with a team

• Organized and able to shift priorities when patient needs change

• Interested in continuing to learn and grow within veterinary medicine

• Must be 18 years of age or older 
• High school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certificate is required 

Have additional experience with IV catheter placement, anesthesia monitoring, surgery, dentistry, or dental radiography? Even better. We’d love to hear more about the skills you can bring to the team.
