We want to add an experienced Veterinary Technician/Exam Room Assistant to our stellar team who is responsible with a great attitude, knows when to be serious and yet has the ability to laugh at themselves. PPAH team is strongly bonded; we have each other’s back and learn from each other. To succeed, you need to have excellent people skills, exceptional communication skills, can-do attitude, readiness to learn, the ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment and jump in where needed.
