Would you love to work with a competent, positive team that offers encouragement and support? Do you have a passion for small mammals/exotics or perhaps emergency or surgery? Maybe you have a different passion in veterinary medicine and are yearning for a place to realize it? WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!! We want to offer you the chance to join our work team and help us learn and grow as we work towards expanding our practice. TELL US WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! WE ARE FLEXIBLE!
Location
Our practice is The Juniata Veterinary Clinic, located in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. We are in the midst of the Tuscarora Mountains and close to the Juniata River, a cozy area surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife. The area has a diverse culture and offers an abundance of outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and camping, yet we are only 30-45 minutes from our state capitol Harrisburg and Penn State University , State College.
Practice Overview
The Juniata Veterinary Clinic is a privately owned practice that currently employs two experienced doctors. Our support staff currently includes six utilized technicians (all skilled in anesthetics, surgery preparation, radiographs, blood draws, IV catheter placement, skin and ear cytology, and urine collection, allowing our doctors the time to diagnose and focus on treatment our patients), four friendly , technically skilled and knowledgeable customer service representatives who are great communicators and listeners (skilled at problem solving and addressing our customers needs), as well as reliable , competent technician assistants, kennel assistants and a practice manager with over 20 years veterinary clinic experience. We have a low staff turnover with many of our staff being with us for over 10 years. Our current clinic hours are Monday through Friday, 8am until 5pm. This means no late evenings, no weekends and no on call. Scheduled hours can be flexible and is something we would be happy to discuss. The practice serves the ability to facilitate surgeries, radiographs, ultrasounds and in-house pathology. While we primarily specialize in cats and dogs, some of our doctors will see exotics/small mammals and some large animals.
