Apprenticeship as a Medical Technician (EFZ) (m/f/d) – Start Date: August 2027
Do you love cats and want to learn a trade where no two days are the same?
Are you curious, eager to learn, and interested in joining a small team that places a high value on quality, empathy, and modern veterinary medicine? If so, we look forward to meeting you.
About Us
We are an owner-operated cat clinic on Lake Zurich, and we treat our patients as if they were our own beloved family members. That’s why we take our time, work calmly and respectfully, and create an atmosphere where cats feel as stress-free as possible. Our clinic is completely cat-friendly. The cats are free to move about as they please; we handle them calmly and mindfully, and scratching or biting is the exception rather than the rule here.
Here's what to expect during your apprenticeship
As a TPA apprentice, you’ll be introduced step by step to the varied day-to-day work in the field and will learn, among other things:
Welcoming and Assisting Our Customers
A Loving and Stress-Free Approach to Caring for Cats
Assistance with Examinations and Treatments
Preparation for and Support During Surgeries
Laboratory Work and Diagnostics
Care and Treatment of Our Patients
Scheduling and Administration
Working with State-of-the-Art Veterinary Technology
Throughout this process, you'll be supported by a dedicated team that takes the time to guide you through your training.
What You Bring to the Table
You'll be a great fit for us if you:
You love cats and enjoy working with people
You are friendly, reliable, and responsible
work carefully, with focus, and calmly
enjoy learning and want to discover new things
you remain attentive and empathetic even in challenging situations
have a good Category A high school diploma and an interest in the natural sciences
If you feel like this apprenticeship is a good fit for you, we’d love to receive your application. You don’t have to know everything yet—that’s what the apprenticeship is for. What’s much more important is curiosity, motivation, passion, and a love for learning something new every day. 😻
