Licensed Vet Tech, Community Medicine

ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL OF NYC • New York, NY

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Animal Care Centers of NYC’s new veterinary center isn’t your typical veterinary center. We built it for the pets who get turned away, for the families who can't afford emergency care, and for the kind of medicine that prioritizes outcomes over invoices.

At The Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Veterinary Center, we provide urgent and secondary care – pyometra, blocked cats, foreign bodies – not routine wellness. Clients come to us by referral, and our mission is clear: prevent the unnecessary surrender or euthanasia of animals simply because their owners can’t afford treatment. You get to provide care without having to sell the estimate. The services will be deeply discounted or fully subsidized through grants.

The space you’ll work in? Animal Care Centers of NYC has recently opened a 50,000 square foot shelter in Ridgewood Queens that boasts this 4,000 sq foot hospital with a large surgical suite, dental suite with x-rays, ultrasound, in-house lab and radiology capabilities. We will also offer affordable grooming.

We’re looking for a Licensed Veterinary Technician who wants more than a job – they want a purpose. Someone who’s clinically solid, emotionally grounded, and eager to be part of a new kind of veterinary center built on access, empathy, and medical excellence. This is a chance to be part of a purpose-built team that includes veterinarians, veterinary assistants, client service representatives, a groomer, and a social worker.

It’s not just a veterinary center– it’s a new model for accessible care in New York City. If the model is successful, another medical center will open in the Bronx in late 2026, so there is room for growth.
