Lead Veterinary Technician

At Sheridan Pet Care, we're looking for an experienced Lead Veterinary Technician who is passionate about exceptional medicine, enjoys mentoring others, and wants to help shape the future of a growing veterinary practice. This role offers the opportunity to work alongside the practice owner to build a hospital known for outstanding patient care, an incredible client experience, and a supportive, collaborative team culture.

About Us

Sheridan Pet Care is a locally owned and intentionally independent small animal practice dedicated to providing compassionate, relationship-centered care for dogs and cats throughout every stage of life. Our services include:

• Surgery
• Advanced dentistry with full-mouth dental radiographs
• Internal medicine
• In-house laboratory and pharmacy
• Preventive care
• House-call appointments

We're actively pursuing AAHA accreditation and Fear Free certification, and we believe excellent medicine starts with an engaged team that genuinely enjoys working together. Although we're still a small practice, we're busy, growing quickly, and intentionally building a hospital where quality always comes before quantity.

Responsibilities

Lead Exceptional Patient Care

• Assist with appointments, surgery, anesthesia, dentistry, diagnostics, and nursing care
• Ensure high standards of patient safety and medical quality

Requirements

• Several years of veterinary technician experience (credentialed technicians strongly preferred)
• Love for anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, and patient nursing
• Experience training or mentoring team members
• Passion for quality medicine and continuous improvement
• Enjoy building systems rather than simply following them
• Communicate with kindness, professionalism, and honesty
• Stay calm under pressure and help others do the same
• Take pride in creating a positive, supportive work environment

Leadership experience is wonderful, but we're equally interested in experienced technicians who are ready to take the next step.

Benefits

• Support for Fear Free certification
• Human–Animal Bond training

Why Sheridan Pet Care?

This is one of those rare opportunities to help build a hospital from the inside out. You'll work side-by-side with an owner who values collaboration, welcomes new ideas, and believes great medicine starts with investing in great people. If you're looking for a place where you can lead, mentor, practice exceptional medicine, and leave a lasting impact on a growing hospital, we'd love to meet you.
