Credentialed Veterinary Technician
About The Position
Care for animals. Support your team. Make a difference every single shift. By 9 a.m. you've coaxed a trembling Lab onto the scale with a lick mat and a low voice, drawn his blood while he's still working on the peanut butter, and walked his owner through what comes next. Nobody got rushed, and nobody got forced. That's a normal morning at Island Hammock Pet Hospital in Key Largo, where Fear Free handling is how we practice, not a poster in the lobby. We're hiring a Veterinary Technician to join our team and bring that same steady care to every patient and client we see. About the Practice We've cared for pets across Key Largo and the Florida Keys since 2010. We're AAHA accredited and Fear Free Certified, and we offer wellness exams, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, an in-house laboratory, and radiology, with the kind of thorough, thoughtful care we'd want for our own pets. We show up for each other, celebrate the wins (big and small), and support one another through the tough moments. We believe kindness, communication, and a little humor make even our busiest days better. Our clients know us and rely on us, and you'll feel that connection every day.
