Join a Team Where You Can Make a Difference
We’re looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) who brings strong technical skills, a genuine love for animals and people, and a “can-do” attitude to our team.
We’re an energetic, supportive veterinary hospital located in an up-and-coming area of the city, and we’re lucky to have an incredible team of people who genuinely care about one another, our patients, and our clients.
We’re proud to be a legacy veterinary hospital, serving pets and their families since the 1970s, with deep roots in the community and an exciting future ahead. As we continue to grow and evolve alongside this up-and-coming area, we’re looking for passionate people who want to help shape the next chapter of our hospital.
We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just want to complete their shift, but wants to add value to the team, take ownership, contribute ideas, and help make the hospital a better place.
If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem and thinks, “Okay, how can we solve this?” rather than “That’s not my job,” you may be exactly who we’re looking for.
Tuesday–Friday, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM
No weekends for the foreseeable future.
We’re proud to offer a four-day operating schedule that gives our team more time outside of work while still allowing us to provide comprehensive veterinary care to our clients.
As an RVT, you’ll play an important role in both patient care and the day-to-day functioning of the hospital.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assisting veterinarians with examinations, consultations, procedures, surgeries, and diagnostics
- Performing technical procedures including venipuncture, catheter placement, radiographs, sample collection, laboratory testing, and other nursing duties
- Monitoring patients throughout anesthesia, surgery, and recovery, recognizing changes and responding appropriately
- Administering medications, vaccines, treatments, and fluids as directed by the veterinarian
- Providing thoughtful, low-stress handling, restraint, and nursing care to patients
- Processing laboratory samples and operating in-house diagnostic equipment accurately
- Maintaining thorough and accurate medical records
- Communicating treatment plans, discharge instructions, and follow-up recommendations clearly with clients
- Building positive relationships with clients and helping them feel confident in the care their pets are receiving
- Participating in patient follow-ups and continuity of care
- Maintaining a clean, organized, safe, and efficient treatment environment
- Contributing to hospital workflows, protocols, inventory, and day-to-day organization
- Collaborating with the entire veterinary team to keep patient care running smoothly
- Recognizing opportunities for improvement and contributing ideas that make our processes, patient care, and client experience better
Technical skills are important, but who you are as a teammate matters just as much.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Accountable — you take ownership of your responsibilities and follow through
- Reliable and hardworking — you understand that a great hospital depends on people who show up for one another
- Solution-oriented — you’re comfortable troubleshooting, thinking critically, and looking for solutions before immediately passing a problem along
- Resourceful and independent — you can work through routine challenges confidently while knowing when something genuinely needs to be escalated
- A team player — you want to contribute to a supportive environment rather than simply work alongside one
- A strong communicator — you communicate clearly and respectfully with veterinarians, technicians, assistants, CSRs, and clients
- Comfortable with client communication — you can explain medical information clearly and navigate difficult conversations with empathy and professionalism
- Skilled at de-escalation — you can remain calm, compassionate, and solution-focused when a client is upset or frustrated
- Compassionate — you genuinely care about the experience of both the patient and their person
- Adaptable — veterinary medicine can change quickly, and you’re able to roll with it without losing your cool
- Proactive — you notice what needs to be done and take initiative rather than waiting to be asked
- Willing to learn — you’re open to feedback, professional development, and expanding your skill set
- Someone who adds to the culture — you bring kindness, respect, positivity, and a willingness to help your coworkers
Most importantly, you’re someone we can count on.
We want someone who looks around the hospital and thinks, “What can I do to help?”
We believe that supporting our team means more than offering a competitive salary. We want our employees to have access to benefits that support their physical health, mental health, financial wellbeing, and life outside of work.
Our company benefits package includes:
- Dental coverage
- Prescription drug coverage
- Vision coverage
- Psychotherapy coverage
- Massage therapy coverage
- Acupuncture coverage
- Physiotherapy coverage
- Chiropractic coverage
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- RRSP matching
- and more!
We know that veterinary medicine can be physically and emotionally demanding. Having access to mental health support, therapy, wellness services, and an EAP is an important part of taking care of the people who take care of our patients.
You’ll be joining an amazing team that genuinely supports one another.
- Collaboration over competition
- Open communication
- Helping each other out
- Asking questions without fear of judgment
- Giving and receiving constructive feedback
- Continuing education and professional growth
- Celebrating each other’s successes
- Creating a workplace where people actually enjoy coming to work
We’re also continuously looking for ways to improve how we work. If you have an idea that could make patient care better, improve efficiency, or make the client or team experience better, we want to hear it.
We want our team members to continue growing.
We support ongoing learning and are happy to explore opportunities for additional training, certifications, and development for the right candidate.
Already have any of the following? Great.
- RECOVER CPR certification
- Fear Free certification
- Additional veterinary nursing or technical certifications
- Strong anesthesia experience
- Dental experience
- Laboratory experience
- Surgical experience
We’re happy to support the right candidate in pursuing additional training and certifications through Continuing Education credits. We care more about finding someone with the right attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn than finding someone who checks every box on day one.
