✔ Experience managing or mentoring a clinical team
✔ Ability to lead with fairness, clarity, and consistency
✔ Credentialed technician (preferred)
 

What We Offer:

• No overnight or weekend shifts
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Supplemental insurance options (e.g., accident, critical illness)

• Continuing education allowance
• Uniform allowance
• Licensure reimbursement
• Paid time off (PTO)
• Employee pet care discount
