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 Westville hospital is our first 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 RVT – Day/Swing Shift

As a Swing Shift Emergency Registered Veterinary Technician, you play 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.

Schedule: 3 (12 hour) shifts.

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—aides—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.

What You’ll Need

• Licensed Veterinary Technician (Associate’s + VTNE passed).
• 2+ years of veterinary experience (ER preferred but not required).
• Basic computer skills and comprehension of practice management software and electronic medical records.
• 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, work on the floor, lift up to 40 lbs unaided, and support up to 80 lbs with assistance.
• Willingness 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.
• Works 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 401(k) 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 taking care of yourself.
• License renewal fees covered.
• Learning and growth focus – stipend continuing education (CE) so we are always delivering state of the art medicine.
• Mentorship and real career growth opportunities.
• Little (big) things, like comfortable scrubs and EVCC swag.

If You’re Looking For…

• Your skills are respected.
• Your growth is supported.
