Northeast Animal Hospital and Downtown St. Pete Vet Clinic are looking for Experienced Veterinary Technician to join our team!
* Opportunity to learn, grow, and develop in a career you truly love.
* Outstanding team of dedicated coworkers who want to see each other succeed.
* We are devoted to pets and their people—and OUR people. We believe happy employees make happy workplaces.
Ignite your excitement in providing exceptional care for pets and their owners. We would love to have you join our multi-doctor team at Northeast Animal Hospital and Downtown St. Pete Vet Clinic, sister practices in two of the most sought-after locations in St. Pete. We strive for a fun, friendly atmosphere where everyone, including the pets, feels relaxed. Our team is the heart of our practice and is the reason we are able to offer the highest level of service to our clients. Our growth has allowed us to offer state-of-the-art technology while still maintaining the local business feel that makes St. Pete so great.
About us
For over 40 years, Northeast Animal Hospital has been devoted to pets and their people. It's more than a tagline- our mission and client experience have allowed us to attract the highest quality, skilled veterinarians, nurse technicians, and support staff. Between the two practices, we offer routine vet care, advanced diagnostics for sick pets, surgical and dental care, and overnight boarding, so a diverse, interesting day at the office is guaranteed!
How you can best fill this position
Along with everything being a veterinary technician entails, we are looking for some key skills that will help you thrive in this new position:
The ability to go over and beyond being a "people" person. A positive, upbeat personality that can understand a client's fears and respond with compassion is vital.
A social media-minded outlook is a huge plus! Someone who can see the potential for a funny or inspiring post, snap a photo, and forward it to the appropriate staff member would be a great asset.
The ability to handle the physically demanding job of lifting and holding animals securely, as well as being resolved that you will be getting your hands (and scrubs) dirty. But rest assured that you'll be rewarded with puppy kisses, tail wags, purrs, and much, much more.
The ability to multi-task with grace and compassion during busy and stressful conditions.
The willingness to work weekends on an alternating schedule with other techs on a four day work week schedule.
Why you should choose the Northeast Animal Hospital team
Along with the competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and a generous employee pet discount, you will gain a wealth of knowledge as you work alongside amazing coworkers. Our office locations mean you have great choices for coffee or lunch nearby as St. Pete offers some of the best local restaurants and cafes around. Our unique environment encourages you to have fun at work and to work together with teammates for a unified and safe atmosphere where your strengths will be recognized and rewarded. We look forward to speaking with you soon!

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of Northeast 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.
