Who We Are
Veterinary Care & Specialty Group (VCSG) is Chattanooga’s largest multi-specialty and emergency hospital, where compassionate care meets cutting-edge medicine. We are leading the way with RECOVER CPR Certified Instructors, a partnership with the Erlanger Life Force K9 Transport Program, On-Site Blood Bank, and a staff of world class specialists. We believe that excellence in patient care starts with a workplace where professionals feel valued, empowered, and inspired to grow — because when our team thrives, so do our patients.
Who We Are Looking For
Our exceptional team of licensed veterinary technicians are the heart of VCSG. Our Emergency and Critical Care technicians play a vital role in delivering life-saving care for emergency and hospitalized patients. They support our board-certified criticalists, emergency clinicians, and specialists across all departments.
As we grow, we’re seeking top-tier technicians who thrive under pressure and want to make a real impact.
