Veterinary Technician

Overview

Clements Ferry Veterinary is growing! We welcomed a new associate, a full-time veterinarian, in July:

As more surgery and appointment times are available to clients, we are seeking full-time veterinary technicians who are humble, hungry, and team players, ready to start building a long-lasting relationship. Our team members must abide by our core values and demonstrate a high moral character. This is more than a job! We strive to serve our community and professionally develop our staff.
