About The Position

The Veterinary Emergency Hospital Arlington (VEHA) is a privately owned urgent care clinic, established as an extension of both the veterinary community and our main hospital and company, Veterinary Emergency Hospital of Midlothian (VEHM). Together, VEHA and VEHM function as one cohesive organization, united in our commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality veterinary care across both locations. Currently, we are open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, including weekends and holidays, and we take pride in delivering progressive, compassionate patient care alongside exemplary client service. With fully staffed teams of doctors and a growing need for additional support staff at both locations, we’re expanding and seeking to add dedicated professionals to our team. As we continue to grow, we’re excited to welcome new talent—individuals who are passionate about patient care and ready to make a meaningful difference in a fast-paced veterinary environment. The ideal candidate is a highly motivated and skilled veterinary technician with prior clinical experience who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. This position is not entry-level—candidates should come equipped with hands-on experience and be comfortable performing a broad range of technical tasks with confidence and efficiency.
