About CCAH
Creve Coeur Animal Hospital is looking for someone to help us provide the very best care for our patients by providing overnight nursing care. We are a busy 5 doctor practice in West County Saint Louis that treats dogs, cats, rabbits, pocket pets, and reptiles.
We are an AAHA-accredited practice, so we have a very high standard for our patients as well as our employees. But because of this, we are the best in St. Louis! Team harmony and our core values matter just as much to us as helping pets.
About You
We are looking for someone with at least 1 year of veterinary technician experience. Certification is valued and would result in better compensation.
We need someone who can work effectively with people (not just pets). Someone who has confidence and charisma that can help clients through all types of situations. A self-starter, that can be comfortable completing tasks without direct supervision.
You will be able to place IV catheters, draw blood, give injections, provide animal care with safe and humane handling, perform laboratory tests, take x-rays, and follow treatment plans prescribed to our hospital patients. Surgical experience is a plus.
You must be able to be on your feet for long periods of time. You will be the type of person who is on time (or early) and can help cover shifts when a team member is sick or on vacation. Hard work will be important, but so are breaks, lunches, and days off.
The Role
We need a full-time overnight veterinary technician to work three 12-hour shifts on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (2 pm to 2 am) as well as every other Saturday and some holidays.
You’ll be assisting in appointments, caring for our hospital and boarding patients, cleaning and preparing surgical packs, stocking exam rooms, and performing other miscellaneous maintenance tasks throughout the night when not caring for patients and pets.
We value dedication to patient care, a healthy work-life balance, and showing up as your awesome self! We have a commitment to professional growth and a positive work environment in our clinic, and we offer fantastic benefits to help you keep up with the strangeness of the ever-changing world, including:

Think you're the veterinary technician we've been looking for? Come join our team! We look forward to your contributions toward a meaningful mission where you will make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners!
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of Creve Coeur Animal Hospital and Vetcor. We are passionate about building and sustaining an inclusive and equitable working and learning environment for all employees. Every team member enriches our diversity by exposing us to various ways to understand and engage with the world. That's why we're committed to a workplace culture where employees are comfortable being their authentic selves, feel a complete sense of belonging, and are empowered to reach their highest potential.
I would highly recommend anyone to work for a Vetcor clinic because of all the available resources they offer to their employees! These resources vary from continuing education to the importance of mental health and not burning out. Stonebridge has been one of the best places I have worked and has done nothing but help me pursue my goal of becoming an LVT.
There are programs including VetLife Days and Lend-a-Hand that allow you to spend time at other clinics. I have met some wonderful colleagues this way and have also been able to expand my leadership skills within Vetcor. I actually learned that I love teaching and supporting other veterinarians, especially new graduates. I love soft tissue surgery, so to be able to pass on that knowledge and skill set to new grads, giving them the confidence and skills they need to excel, has been very rewarding. It has been an amazing journey with Vetcor so far and I am excited to continue to be part of this amazing group.
The mentorship and advice from the Vetcor Chief of Staff Advisors have helped me become a better veterinarian and surgeon. They have filled me with confidence in order to become a better leader. Vetcor has been a great corporation to work for.
There is a career path for everybody and not a one size fits all approach.
Join a group of motivated veterinary professionals while taking advantage of employee programs, resources, and fantastic benefits. Join one of our many collaboration groups for Hospital Managers, Techs, and Vets! Plus, we love supporting growth in your teams' desired career paths. Gain access to mentorship at all levels, continuing education, wellness resources, and more!
Feel the pride of being part of a network of reputable and sought-after practices. You have been empowered to leave your mark on the community and it is a difference you can feel. Not only does your work benefit the lives of individual pets and their people, but your hard work and dedication has made you a cornerstone of your pet community.
