Das sagen unsere Mitarbeiter:innen

Es wird nie langweilig! Überragendes Team, steht immer hinter einem, man kann auf die Kollegen zählen und es gibt immer ein offenes Ohr. Privat wird auch viel zusammen unternommen. Es gibt viele interne Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten, man wird unterstützt, seinen Fachtierarzt zu erreichen. Im OP und beim selbstständigen Arbeiten wird man sehr gefördert und jeden Tag lernt man etwas Neues dazu.

Mit einem starken Klinikteam im Rücken unsere Patienten und ihre Besitzer durch dick und dünn zu begleiten, (und dies auf so hohem medizinischem Niveau) erfüllt mich sehr!

Ich finde es gut, dass sich hier alle immer gegenseitig helfen und was ich auch toll finde ist, dass ich meinen Hund jeden Tag mitbringen kann.

Tiermedizinische Fachangestellte

Ich arbeite noch nicht lange in der Klinik und um ehrlich zu sein wollte ich nie in eine Klinik, weil ich dachte, dort ist es nicht so familiär. Ich wurde eines Besseren belehrt. Noch nie wurde ich freundlicher von einem Team aufgenommen als dort und ich bin unfassbar froh, Teil dieses tollen Teams zu sein!
