Certified Veterinary Technician
Bend Equine Medical Center is a privately owned 24-hour Equine General Practice/ Emergency and Referral Hospital with board-certified specialists in surgery and internal medicine. We are located in the most beautiful place on earth (at least we think so) located in the High Desert of Central Oregon. If you are an outdoor enthusiast then this is the place to work, live and play! We have thousands of miles of the best trails for mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking and known as “bona fide climbing town,” from National Geographic Magazine for the rock climbers. In the winter we have endless downhill and cross-country skiing right outside our back door. We are 4 hours from the beautiful Pacific Ocean and surrounded by a multitude of lakes and rivers for the fishing, rafting, kayaking and paddle boarding for those enthusiasts. We are currently looking to add a skilled licensed veterinary technician to our amazing growing team.
Working here is a meaningful career making a real and tangible difference in horses’ and their humans’ lives on a daily basis. There are long hours, hard physical work, plenty of clean up (they are horses, after all), and some sad endings too. But then there are wonderful, smart, hard-working coworkers, owners that appreciate what you do, and the ability to match your passion for horses to your profession
