Stonewater Veterinary Hospital is seeking Veterinary Technicians/Assistants at our growing privately owned small animal hospital in Clayton, NC. Our hospital increased in size from a 1 doctor practice to a 2 doctor practice in July of 2023 and we are seeking an increase in support staff as we grow.

We want to focus on hospital culture and make this a place where you look forward to coming to work each day. We are a family-owned hospital that opened in March of 2022 with a big goal to put the experience of our employees and clients at the forefront of how we operate. Of course, we want to practice high-quality medicine and provide first-class care to our clients and we expect that you do too. We want to be efficient and incorporate the tools and technology to do so as we can add it to the practice.

Our hospital has a surgical suite, digital radiology, digital dental radiology in our dental suite, and an in-house Idexx diagnostic laboratory. We have a cloud based paperless medical record system, Cornerstone Cloud, which allows checking out in the exam rooms when needed to streamline work flow. We have a spacious employee lounge and patio as you need to decompress on breaks to refresh. We try to have fun with this job as it can be really tough at times. If you would like to be part of a new hospital that is growing and help define our culture as we grow – then shoot us an email and let’s chat!
