Sarasota Equine Veterinary Services is expanding! We are hiring a hybrid position of a veterinary technician that can also work in the office when not needed by the vet.
The Job
Our veterinary technicians are the extra set of hands everyone wishes they had! The doctor is relying on your help to hold our patients, stock medications in their mobile clinics, help bill for services, and overall keep the job running safely and smoothly. This job requires you to be self-motivated, take initiative, and thrive in fast paced environments. Our ideal candidate is someone willing to pick up any and all tasks to help the team thrive while also contributing to our positive workplace culture.
We are looking for an individual with strong horse sense and impeccable people skills.
It is essential in this position that you possess a strong Equine foundation and are comfortable handling horses. Horse people speak a certain language, and you need to be able to communicate clearly. This includes basic horse anatomy (knowing the difference between the hocks and the withers), movements, mannerisms, and things like that. If you grew up with horses, have worked in a barn, have shown horses for ten years, etc… that’s what we’re looking for! If you love horses but haven’t spent much time handling them, this may not be the best fit for you.
When you are not in the field with our horse clientele, we need a candidate who is willing to learn all aspects of the office work which keeps this practice rolling. An important part of this job is managing stress. When the schedule is slammed, calls are rolling in, a doctor needs a favor and a client has a question, you must be able to take it all in stride, then competently address each task with a positive and professional demeanor for both your team and our clients. Each employee is part of the face and voice of Sarasota Equine, and that’s a big deal to us.
