*SIGN-ON BONUS AVAILABLE FOR CREDENTIALED TECHNICIANS! *
Are you a Credentialed Veterinary Technician who is looking to further your knowledge of the human-animal bond and practice low-stress handling techniques? Are you looking for a clinic that supports your professional growth by providing you with a safe space to ask for what you need? If these are values that are important to you, Appalachian New River Veterinary Associates is looking for compassionate individuals to join their AAHA-accredited, Feline Friendly certified practice in Boone, North Carolina.
About Us:
Since 1985, Appalachian New River Veterinary Associates has been providing compassionate and consistent care to the families of Boone and its surrounding communities. Our commitment to comprehensive care includes the preservation of the human-animal bond to ensure that you and your pet both have a positive experience with our team.

About You:
Our ideal candidate has completed an AVMA-accredited Veterinary Technology program and has 1-2 years of clinical experience under their belt. This person is interested in continuing to grow and share ideas in a collaborative environment but is comfortable with performing dentals, anesthesia monitoring, and client communications.
