Veterinary Technician or Assistant (Experience Welcome, Enthusiasm Required)
Androscoggin Animal Hospital | Topsham, Maine

Are you the kind of person who can calmly clean up cat puke while giving the dog next to you a pep talk and helping a nervous client feel like everything’s going to be okay? Cool — you’ll fit right in.

We’re hiring a Veterinary Technician or Assistant — and we’re open to credentialed techs or kind, curious, capable humans who are ready to train and grow in the field. Whether you’ve got your LVT/CVT/RVT already or you’re just starting out and want to learn from some of the best — we want to meet you.

A bit about us:

We’re Androscoggin Animal Hospital, a 9-doctor, AAHA-accredited, small animal practice in Topsham, Maine. We treat cats, dogs, and exotics (think chinchillas, lizards, and the occasional diva rabbit). We practice high-quality medicine, use Fear Free techniques, and genuinely like each other — which sounds small, but it’s kind of a big deal in vet med.

You might be a great fit if you:

Are credentialed or have experience and are hungry to learn more
Don’t mind getting your hands (and scrubs) dirty
Can juggle multiple tasks without combusting
Want to grow in a hospital where techs and assistants are valued, supported, and trained to succeed
Think working with exotics sounds kinda fun (or at least intriguing)
Can laugh at a bad pun while still taking patient care seriously

What you’ll do:

Assist with surgeries, treatments, appointments, and snuggling anxious pets
Learn new skills — or use the ones you already have to the fullest
Support our doctors, clients, and your fellow techs/assistants like a true team player
Rotate through weekends, but still have a life outside the hospital (promise)

What we offer:

Training and mentorship for those newer to the field
Respect and trust if you’re already credentialed and skilled
A warm, collaborative team where no one is “just” an assistant
Solid pay and a stack of benefits, including:
- Medical, dental, and vision options
- Company-paid short-term disability & life insurance
- 401K + match
- PTO (because burnout isn’t cute)
- Support for fertility, mental wellness, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive care
- DailyPay, pet care discounts, and more

Why work with us?
Because we’re not just another clinic. We’re a place where people stay, grow, laugh, and do damn good work together. Whether you’ve been in vet med forever or are just starting out, you’ll be respected, supported, and encouraged to keep learning.
