Why You'll Love Working at Shiloh
We're a 5-doctor, AAHA-accredited, Cat Friendly hospital located on the west side of Billings, Montana. We're passionate about providing exceptional veterinary care, but we're equally committed to creating a workplace where our team feels valued and supported.
Here's what makes Shiloh special:
- A team that has your back. We believe in helping each other, communicating openly, and working together to make even the busiest days successful.
- Supportive, approachable leadership. Our Hospital Manager and dedicated LVT/Tech Manager are actively involved in supporting the team.
- A schedule that supports work-life balance. Enjoy four longer shifts per week instead of a traditional five-day schedule.
- Time dedicated to learning. We have protected weekly time for team communication, training, and professional development.
- Opportunities to use and grow your skills. Our technicians are involved in appointments, diagnostics, treatments, surgery, and patient care.
- A culture built on kindness and respect. We value positive attitudes, teamwork, and people who genuinely care about doing a great job.
And yes, we're dog-friendly! You can even bring your dog to work!
