Veterinary Technician - Stratford Primary Care

This is not your average primary care setting! There is never a dull moment in this very busy practice. If you need to be busy or are looking to grow your skills, this could be a perfect fit. If you feel like your current position is too slow, too quiet or the shift just drags on, this could be for you! We have a strong promote-from-within culture, so there is very real opportunity to continue growing professionally.

Our brand new general practice branch is opening in September! New employees will train at our main facility in Middletown until the Stratford branch opens in September. Candidates for this position must be willing and able to commute to Middletown in the meantime to train.

With roots in the local community dating back to 1933, Pieper Veterinary was originally established as a mixed animal practice by Dr. Niel Pieper, with the goal of providing the highest standard of care to both patients and clients. Today, Pieper Veterinary is a hub and spokes model practice, featuring four general practice hospitals supported by two emergency and specialty centers, located throughout the Connecticut River Valley. We are proud to be able to offer the most advanced technology and diagnostics to our patients, while still maintaining the feeling of community and family that the Pieper name has come to stand for.

Pay: $19.50 - $28.00 per hour depending on level of experience, skill proficiency, education and certifications.
