About The Position

Join Our Team as an Emergency Veterinary Technician at VEC Sarasota! Every now and then, a team comes along that changes the way things are done. A group that says “good enough” isn’t enough — not for patients, not for clients, and not for the people who dedicate their lives to this work. At the Veterinary Emergency Clinic - Sarasota, that’s exactly who we are. We’re building something bigger than a hospital. We’re building a place where: Families walk through our doors in moments of fear and walk out with hope, because they’ve been heard and supported at every step. Patients don’t just receive treatment, they experience comfort, dignity, enrichment, and compassion that exceeds expectations. Team members don’t just clock in- they thrive, grow, and feel proud to be part of something extraordinary. As a Veterinary Technician, you won’t just be “taking on cases.” You’ll be an integral part of a movement to redefine emergency and specialty care. You’ll steady the hands of worried pet parents, give voice to the needs of your patients, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a team that believes heroes come in scrubs. We’re looking for individuals who have skill, heart, creativity and (perhaps most importantly) something to prove. People who want more than a job — who want to be part of a culture where innovation, compassion, and courage fuel everything we do.
