About the Role

About Us: 
Winsted Hospital for Animals, located in the scenic Litchfield Hills of Connecticut, is a modern, newly renovated animal hospital that’s dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for our patients.  
Our hospital features fully equipped exam rooms, a spacious surgical suite, a large treatment area with wet tables, and a new ultrasound machine. We are committed to maintaining a positive work-life balance for our staff, which is why we do not hospitalize patients overnight or on weekends, instead working with local emergency and 24-hour facilities for overnight care. 

We are currently a 100% small animal practice, focusing on canine and feline patients, and we offer state-of-the-art equipment including a CryoPen, dental radiograph equipment, a variety of in-house lab diagnostics, and much more. Our dedicated and experienced team includes 2 Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs), senior technicians, assistants, and a support team to assist our doctors. We emphasize teamwork, ongoing education, and a positive, supportive atmosphere. 
 
What We Offer: 
State-of-the-art equipment: Brand new ultrasound, dental radiographs, and more. 
Mentorship: Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced veterinarian, we offer mentorship with extended appointment times, shadowing opportunities, and surgical training. 
Flexible schedule: Typically 4-10 hour shifts with one surgery day per week, rotating one Saturday per month. 
Work-life balance: We support flexible scheduling and prioritize a healthy balance for our team members. 
 
About the Role: 
Client Base: 100% canine and feline patients. 
Caseload: Average of 10-15 appointments per day or 3-4 surgeries on surgery days. 
Wellness vs. Sick Appointments: 30-minute wellness visits and 30-40 minutes for sick appointments. 
Team: A close-knit, supportive group of technicians, assistants, and customer service representatives.
