About Us

Southeast Veterinary Neurology (SEVN) is one of the United States’ largest independently and veterinarian owned neurology groups. Neurology isn’t just something we offer. We are a single-specialty practice exclusively treating diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles all day, every day.

Our mission is to keep families together by providing second chances to pets with neurological disease and hope to the people who love them through compassionate neurological care to patients, empathetic service to pet parents, and humble expertise to the veterinary community.

Over the next decade, our goal is to keep 70,000 families whole, ensuring their beloved pets not only survive but thrive despite neurological disease; provide the ultimate workplace experience for our team, being known for our culture of growth, collaboration, and support; and become the undisputed leader in veterinary neurology, pushing the boundaries of our field and redefining the standards of care.

This is where you come in. To help us accomplish our mission and goals, we are looking for talented, motivated, and humble team players to join

About You

You’ll be a technician who is kind, warm hearted and loves to get hands on with some of the less glamorous parts of the role of being a technician. Our ICU nurses are responsible for a lot of things in the hospital, so you’ll have a wide basic skillset to draw on for patients and will stop at nothing to help them recover.

You’ll be someone who has a very good eye for detail, you can spot when something’s not right and you have the confidence to say so. When it comes to getting things done, you probably love a process or checklist so that things are done right and at a high standard.

You’ll also be good at juggling a lot of tasks, prioritizing work and making sure you cross the T’s and dot the I’s - the little things matter and get your attention.

You have learned to be a technically competent and conscientious technician with a minimum of two years of experience in general practice (or a specialty setting). You are adept at multitasking and can perform well under the normal to the high pressures of a veterinary hospital.

About The Role

The work we do is both challenging and intense because neurology requires us to pay attention to the details and work at a high standard. The stakes are high, but due to the professionalism and dedication of the team, we get the best payback of all, to reunite animals and their families, and experience the joy of seeing a loved family pet walk again. It’s an amazing thing to experience and your work will be a huge part of this transformation.
