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

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers was created by veterinarians, for veterinarians—and for the communities they serve. Founded by 36 local general practice veterinarians (many of whom are still actively involved today), EVCC was built to support the veterinary community by providing trusted emergency-only care when primary care veterinarians are closed.

Currently, EVCC Saginaw is open from Friday at 7PM through Monday at 830AM including all holidays that occur during this timeframe. Our #1 goal is to expand these hours to provide quality care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ensuring your pet always has access to lifesaving treatment— weekend or not.

Our Saginaw location is proud to provide compassionate emergency care for pets and the people who love them. Every shift, our team comes together to deliver lifesaving medicine while supporting one another through the fast pace and unpredictability of emergency veterinary care.

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 Swing Shift Emergency Licensed Veterinary Technician plays a critical role in providing high-quality, compassionate care during some of the busiest and most unpredictable hours in an emergency veterinary setting. Working typically in the afternoon through late evening, this position bridges the gap between daytime operations and overnight care.

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 jump into 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 to do (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 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

Who Thrives Here

This role requires confidence, resilience, and heart.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Are a Registered 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
• High anesthesia experience
• 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
• 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
