Join our ER team at Katonah Bedford and get hands-on with hospitalized patients through every stage of their recovery. As a hybrid hospital, part specialty and part general practice, we give you the chance to work beside veterinarians and specialists, build deep critical care skills, and see the full picture of patient care. If you want to grow into a well-rounded veterinary technician, this is the place
Compensation : $32.00 - $42.00 / hr based on skill set, experience and licensure status.
Schedule: Full-time, (4) 10s Swing shift.

- Assists with stabilization and treatment plans, adjusting care in real time as patients progress through recovery
- Administers medications accurately per veterinarian orders, including controlled substances, with careful documentation

- Manages recumbent and long-term ICU patients, including turning, padding, bladder management, and nutritional support
- Collaborates closely with veterinarians, specialists, and fellow technicians throughout the day to coordinate complex, evolving cases
