Love Animals? Ready to Turn That Passion Into a Career?

What if you could spend your days working hands-on with animals, learning new skills, and building a rewarding career in veterinary medicine?

At Broadview Animal Hospital, we’re looking for a compassionate, dependable, and motivated Animal Care Technician to join our established Dover team!

Whether you’ve worked in a veterinary hospital, animal shelter, boarding facility, or another professional animal care environment, or you’re simply excited about the opportunity to begin a career in veterinary medicine, we’d love to get to know you.

More Than a Job with Animals. An Opportunity to Build a Career!

Our Animal Care Technicians are an essential part of the veterinary team, helping ensure our patients receive exceptional care while supporting the veterinarians, credentialed technicians, and other medical professionals who care for them.

This is a hands-on, active position where no two days are quite the same.

You’ll spend your days caring for patients, assisting our medical team, learning new skills, and making a meaningful difference for animals and the people who love them.

If you’re someone who loves staying busy, enjoys working as part of a team, and takes pride in making a difference, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Get to Know Broadview!

For more than 40 years, Broadview Animal Hospital has proudly served pets and their families throughout New Hampshire’s Seacoast and Southern Maine.

We’re privately owned, veterinarian-led, and AAHA accredited, and we’re proud to remain independent as we continue to grow.

With our brand-new Portsmouth hospital opening this fall, Broadview is expanding from three hospitals to four, creating even more opportunities for our team members to learn, develop, and advance their careers.

Our philosophy is simple: Quality Care with Compassion.

That commitment extends beyond our patients and clients to the people who make Broadview special: our team members.

We believe in providing exceptional veterinary medicine, investing in our people, and creating an environment where teamwork, respect, kindness, and professional growth are part of our everyday culture.

What You’ll Do

As an Animal Care Technician, you’ll work closely with our veterinary team to provide compassionate patient care and help keep our hospital running safely and efficiently.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Providing daily care for hospitalized patients, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and monitoring their comfort
• Safely handling and restraining animals during examinations, treatments, and procedures
• Assisting veterinarians and veterinary technicians with patient care
• Preparing and filling prescriptions under appropriate veterinary supervision
• Cleaning, sanitizing, and maintaining kennels, treatment areas, and hospital spaces
• Restocking medical supplies and keeping treatment areas organized
• Monitoring patients and communicating changes or concerns to the medical team
• Preparing patients and treatment areas for procedures
• Supporting the daily flow of appointments, treatments, and hospital operations
• Learning and developing new veterinary technical skills through hands-on training and mentorship

Have experience with animal restraint, nail trims, blood draws, vaccines, prescription filling, or routine veterinary treatments? That’s a plus!

Don’t have those skills yet? That’s okay, too. We’re happy to train motivated individuals who are eager to learn and willing to put in the work.
