Job description

Make a Difference When It Matters Most.

At Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC), we show up for pets and the people who love them on some of their hardest days.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, believe teamwork saves lives, and want to work somewhere your voice truly matters — this could be your place.

Who We Are

EVCC was created by veterinarians, for veterinarians — and for the communities they serve. Founded by 36 local general practice veterinarians (many still actively involved today), we were built to support the veterinary community, not compete with it.

Our Holland hospital is our fifth location and we are proud to bring trusted, emergency-only care to the region.

But what truly defines EVCC isn’t just what we do — it’s how we do it.

WE

• Lead with compassion
• Respect and elevate our technicians
• Support each other without ego
• Communicate openly and professionally
• Recognize that emergency medicine is demanding — and take care of our team because of it

What Life Is Like at EVCC

We genuinely care about whoever walks through our doors — whether it’s a critical patient, an anxious pet parent, or a teammate who needs support during a tough shift.

Emergency medicine is intense. It’s emotional. It’s unpredictable.

But it’s also deeply meaningful.

You won’t be “just a tech” here. Your assessment skills, instincts, and voice matter. Our doctors value collaboration. Our leadership team listens. Growth is encouraged, not gatekept.

Your Role as an LVT (Swing Shift)

As an Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician on our Swing Shift, you’re part of a team that thrives on the front lines of emergency veterinary care, where every second counts. Working during one of our busiest and most dynamic times of day, you'll help bridge daytime and overnight care, ensuring seamless patient treatment and exceptional client support. This position is designed to improve patient flow by managing stable emergency cases, facilitating discharges, and helping clients receive prompt medical attention.

You’ll handle a wide range of cases, from minor to complex emergencies, collaborating with our doctors and team to deliver gold-standard, emotionally intelligent care. You’ll jump into triage, treatments, diagnostics, anesthesia, monitoring, and critical care nursing, all while being a steady, compassionate presence for pet parents during some of their most stressful moments.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the fast pace and variety of emergency medicine, wants to practice at the top of their license (and beyond), continue growing their skills, and make a meaningful difference for pets and the people who love them 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 triage to discharge
• Bring the meds, the monitoring, and 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
• 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 cutting - edge techniques in your toolkit: advanced lines (jugular catheters, arterial lines), ultrasound and more
• Identify subtle changes in patient status and advocate accordingly

This role requires confidence, resilience, and heart.

Who Thrives Here

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Are a Licensed Veterinary Technician (Associate’s + VTNE passed)
• Have 2+ years of veterinary experience (ER preferred but not required)
• Basic computer skills and a comprehension of practice management software and 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 40lbs on own and able to support up to 80Ibs 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

How We Invest In You

We believe people do their best work when they feel valued and supported.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation (depending on experience) including base and 401K match
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits that start on day one
• Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work
• Paid Time Off (PTO) because we truly believe in TREAT YOUR SELF mentality
• Generous employee referral program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people
• License Renewal Fees covered
• A BIG focus on learning and growing, we stipend continuing education (CE) so we are always delivering state of the art medicine to our patients

A hospital where:

• Your skills are respected

We’d love to meet you.
