WE'RE HIRING! Registered Veterinary Technician
Are you looking for a workplace that encourages professional growth and helps you meet your career goals? We pride ourselves in encouraging further education and training for our technicians, and providing a professional framework that allows them to practice the full range of their skills. We have a strong focus on collaboration and professionalism within our staff. We work as a team to ensure that patients and clients receive the best experience possible. We place a strong focus on effective communication.
At Cascade Veterinary Clinic, we always aim for top-level patient care and exceptional client service. As veterinary professionals, we want to provide what’s best for our patients. We don’t want to miss that ominous lump during a rushed vaccine appointment. We want to get the diagnosis right the first time. We want to ensure that anesthesia and surgery are not only safe, but comfortable. We want to also take the time to provide a caring bedside manner for our patients, as well as the time to ensure our clients are properly informed and educated. We want to make sure that pet owners leave each appointment with a proper understanding of their pet’s health and the education they need to make informed choices. Unfortunately, no one can provide this in the framework of a 10-minute appointment schedule, or during a rushed, cost-cutting bargain spay or neuter. The patient doesn’t win in this model of practice. Neither do the clients who leave feeling rushed and uninformed. Veterinary staff certainly don’t see a benefit. So we do things differently. Vaccine appointments are always booked to a full 30 minutes. Spending the extra time ensuring our patients are comfortable and our clients are well informed is a priority. Surgical recovery is never rushed. Patient safety isn’t compromised in the name of saving time. Survey after survey finds that a majority of pet owners consider their pets to be not just friends, but family members. They don’t want value-priced veterinary care, they want good veterinary care. It’s our responsibility, as an industry, to educate them as to what good veterinary care entails. To help them understand what’s in their pets’ best interest. They don’t want to be told that additional pain medication following surgery is optional (i.e. not that important) if it is, actually, really important for their pet’s welfare and quick recovery. They don’t want a cheap and rushed vaccine appointment if it means no one tells them about their pet’s advanced dental disease or finds that enlarged popliteal lymph node that’s actually lymphoma. So we slow down, take the time to listen, and take the time to explain. Our clients are grateful. Here are some specifics for a full-time position:
