Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician (Part Time) - Peabody, MA

VEG ER for Pets is seeking a part‑time Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician in Peabody, MA.

ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!

At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from open‑concept hospitals, whereтың you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to an immersive, customer‑focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve. This also means saying yes to creating the greatest experience possible for our VEGgies—feeling valued for the amazing work you do, having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship, and making an impact here in ways you never thought possible.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

As a part‑time Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician, you're part of a team that thrives on the front lines of emergency veterinary care where every second counts. You'll handle a wide range of cases, from minor to complex emergencies, collaborating with our doctors and team in delivering gold‑standard, emotionally intelligent care. You'll work in triage, treatments, diagnostics, anesthesia, monitoring, and critical care nursing, all while being a steady, compassionate presence for pet parents in their most stressful moments. This role is for someone who wants to do the work they were trained for (and more), continue growing their skills, and help people and their pets when they need it most.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Treat every patient and person like they matter—because they do! You keep people and pets together and stay by their side through tests, treatments, and everything in between.
• Jump into action, delivering nursing care, treatments, and emotional support in the most critical moments, from first triage to discharge.
• Bring the meds, the monitoring, the mastery—from IVs and CRIs to blood transfusions and beyond.
• Communicate like a teammate and think like a leader, helping shape plans and keep care flowing.
• Be ready to perform CPR like the trained RECOVER rockstar you are (not only do we offer training, we have the highest number of RECOVER CPR professionals and instructors in the industry!).
• All the techy stuff—from diagnostics and imaging to sample collection and placing tubes.
• Anesthesia, even for our most fragile patients? You've got it.
• Use all the advanced techniques in your toolkit: central lines, endoscopy, ultrasounds, and more.

WHAT YOU NEED

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's degree or higher in veterinary technology from an AVMA‑accredited program strongly preferred.
• Credentialed as a veterinary technician (CVT, RVT, LVT, LVMT) in the state where the VEG practiceINVALID is located is required; VTS in ECC, internal medicine or anesthesia/analges 즧 is a plus and will lead to extra considerations in compensation.
• 1+ years of experience in a veterinary technician role; experience in emergency or specialty medicine preferred.
• Basic computer skills and comprehension of practice management software and Procurement electronic medical record keeping.
• Excellent communicator and calm under pressure; ready to lend a hand to support those around you.
• Fine motor skills for handling patients and medical equipment.
• Ability to stand for prolonged hours, kneel, and work on the floor as well as ability to lift up to 25 kg on your own and support up to 40 kg with assistance.
• Must be willing to work in a noisy environment with strong or unpleasant odors.
• Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as‑needed basis based on hospital needs.
• Work well in a fast‑paced environment with people from all backgrounds and different personality types.

WHO YOU ARE

• Empathetic, instinctively taking a people‑centric approach, whether supporting your colleagues or making an effort to understand different perspectives.
• Have a sense of humility; acknowledging mistakes, sharing credit with others, and lifting up your team's' accomplishments.
• Feel a strong sense of ownership over your work, taking responsibility for outcomes and staying committed to achieving long‑term, impactful results.
• Curious by nature; you ask insightful questions and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow your skills and knowledge.

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU

• Competitive compensation.
• Unlimited ER CE + travel stipend (No really!). Part‑time credentialed VEGgies receive a $1,000/year travel stipend. Part‑time uncredentialed VEGgies receive a $400/year travel stipend.
• Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work.
• Generous employee referral program, so our awesome people can bring in Gibt more awesome people.
• And the little (big) things, like comfy scrubs, cool VEG swag, and food in the fridge for when you're hungry.
