Four Paws Animal Hospital is looking to hire 1 full time and/or part time veterinary technician(s) - MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE. We are looking for someone who is reliable, energetic and self-motivated. They must be able to work independently, and also as part of a team and be able to work well with others (need we say able to multi-task?)  They must be able to respond quickly and calmly in an emergency situation. We are at this time offering curbside service, therefore the histories normally taken in exam rooms are now taken over the phone, therefore the applicant must have good communication skills and be a great listener, as well as show compassion toward the patient and the client. We are all maintaining distancing as best possible, and we have proper PPE for our employees. Customer service is JOB #1 for EVERY Four Paws employee. We feel it is important to take care of our clients and we like to educate them concerning what is best for their pet.

Four Paws has been taking care of pets in LaGrange for 27 years now. We are a solo practitioner clinic, with clients who are very connected to Dr. Whitlow and the staff. Even tho we are a smaller (not multi-man) practice, we are still very progressive. We do have a surgical laser, digital radiography, cold therapy laser, ultra sound and we do offer VOM (chiropractic) work. We do most of our bloodwork in-house. We are looking for someone capable of carrying out standard veterinary technician duties: being proficient in venipuncture for blood sample collection and IV catheter placement, prepping surgery, monitoring anesthesia, assisting in surgery, placement/set-up/development of radiographs, run labwork, capable of dental cleanings, know and use proper restraint techniques. We need someone who is good with clients and patients, knowledgeable about what we offer and recommend (i.e. bloodwork, vaccines, etc.) and interested in educating others, as well as learning new things themselves. Our technicians invoice appointments before the records go up to be checked out, our practice software is Avimark, and are willing to train if applicant is not familiar with this computer program. Individual needs to be able to lift a minimum of 40# unassisted. We do need someone who is available a minimum of 1-2 Saturdays/month (7:30 am - 1 pm). The available option to occasionally come in and check patients on Sundays for a short period of time would be a big help.

We work hard, but find our work to be very rewarding. We understand that chemistry between employees is important, we are not fans of drama. We respect each other and each other's abilities and are always looking for ways to improve - skills, techniques, things that help our patients live fuller, longer lives (chiropractic and cold laser were very useful for these things!), even things that make our work more efficient, productive and sometimes even more enjoyable. If you feel like we describing you or where you would like to be and what you would like to be doing, we would be VERY interested in discussing a possible position on our team with you. We prefer to discuss salary in the interview, as well as benefits. We have an office manager who has been here 20 years, we have had several 10+ year employees, and many who have been here 5+ years.
