Advance Your Career in High-Quality General Practice Veterinary Medicine

Brookhaven Animal Hospital is seeking an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) to join our collaborative, client-centered small animal practice in Atlanta, GA.

This is a skilled, hands-on clinical role designed for credentialed technicians who are confident in anesthesia, surgery, and veterinary dentistry and are looking to practice at a high level within a supportive general practice environment.

 This is not an entry-level position. Candidates must have completed an AVMA-accredited Veterinary Technology program and successfully passed the VTNE, with proven clinical experience in a veterinary setting.

We are a well-established, high-quality general practice committed to delivering gold-standard medicine across all life stages. Our team prioritizes:

Advanced patient care
  Strong technician utilization
  Client education and communication
  A positive, team-driven culture

Here, your technical skills are respected, your growth is supported, and your role in patient outcomes truly matters.

  •  Track vitals and ensure patient comfort for hospitalized cases 
  •  Assist veterinarians during surgical procedures 
  •  Perform and support dental prophylaxis (cleanings)
  •  Capture high-quality dental radiographs
  •  Maintain sterile technique and surgical prep standards 
  •  Clean, sterilize, and maintain surgical/dental instruments 
  •  Perform in-house lab work (CBC, chemistry, urinalysis, fecals) 
  •  Assist with digital radiography (positioning, safety, quality) 
  •  Prepare and submit diagnostic samples 
  •  Guide clients through post-op care, medications, and dental health 
  •  Support admissions and discharges with clear instructions 
  •  Deliver compassionate, confident communication 
  •  Maintain accurate, detailed medical records (PIMS) 
  •  Partner closely with DVMs and support staff 
  •  Contribute to workflow efficiency and team success 
  •  Participate in ongoing training and skill development 

What We’re Looking For


  • Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT/RVT/CVT)
  •  Graduate of an AVMA-accredited Veterinary Technology program
  • VTNE successfully completed
  •  Minimum 1–2+ years of hands-on clinical experience in veterinary medicine 
  •  Advanced anesthesia monitoring and recovery
  •  Surgical assisting in a clinical setting 
  • Venipuncture and IV catheter placement
  •  Experience with dental prophylaxis and dental radiography
  •  High-quality small animal general practice background 
  •  Familiarity with veterinary software (PIMS) 
  •  Interest in dentistry, anesthesia, or surgical advancement

We’re looking for professionals who are:

Confident and clinically skilled
  Detail-oriented with strong patient advocacy
  Calm and focused in fast-paced environments
  Strong communicators with a client-first mindset
  Team-oriented and collaborative
  Motivated to grow and expand technical abilities
