Job Opportunity at VCA Metroplex Animal Hospital

VCA Metroplex Animal Hospital is a 24/7 emergency/specialty/general practice in Irving, Texas. VCA Metroplex Animal Hospital is searching for LVT (or LVT eligible) and VTS certified technicians to join our ever‑growing team. We are an AAHA accredited, 24/7 hybrid hospital that takes pride in servicing our community.

As a hospital we are very interested in taking necessary steps to continue our growth. We have a very busy and well‑established General Practice looking for knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate technicians to help us provide our clients with a high touch and great experience. Our team is the backbone of our hospital and without everyone's skills, knowledge and fun‑loving personalities we can't succeed.

Our technicians are responsible for assisting our DVMs with general practice appointments and surgery. You'll be involved in a variety of cases ranging from wellness to sick appointments. You will also assist in surgery and emergencies from time to time.

We're a teaching hospital and we want to train the best and the brightest for our future. VCA offers a VTS program and Penn Foster scholarships to those interested.

As we continue to grow we are committed more than ever to developing our team with dedicated, professional, and positive people. We believe in a positive and healthy culture and that's what we strive for each day. We empower our team members to be independent and, most importantly, we trust them.

Our hospital is located in Irving, TX, just a short distance from both Dallas and Fort Worth (have the best of both worlds)! You can be in downtown Dallas within 15 minutes to enjoy all the sports and outdoor activities your heart could desire. Outdoors isn't your thing? Not to worry, Dallas/Fort Worth is rich in culture and art and the food scene is amazing.

We offer competitive benefits and salary based on industry standards and we evaluate each applicant on an individual basis.

Benefits:
We offer competitive compensation along with a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision and paid vacation/sick days, 401(k), generous employee pet discounts and more!
