Job description

Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) – High Skill / Surgical & Clinical Focus

Eastview Veterinary Clinic | Clarksville, TN

$20/hour+ (based on experience and proven skillset)

Eastview Veterinary Clinic is a high-volume, walk-in practice. Our pace is real, our cases are variable, and our success depends on having technicians who can step in and perform—not just assist.

We are looking for a highly skilled, experienced LVT who is confident in anesthesia, efficient in workflow, and capable of operating independently in a fast-moving environment.

This is not an entry-level role. We need someone who already has the skillset—and wants to use it consistently.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Independently manage anesthesia (induction → monitoring → recovery)
• Support and execute surgical and dental procedures at a high level
• Perform advanced technical skills (blood draws, catheter placement, radiology, triage)
• Jump into urgent and walk-in cases with confidence
• Work alongside our Lead LVT to maintain clinic flow and efficiency
• Help reinforce training and standards for Veterinary Assistants

Minimum Requirements (Please Read Carefully)

• Active Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT)
• 3+ years of hands‑on clinical experience
• RECOVER Basic Life Support
• Strong, independent anesthesia skills
• Experience in surgery, dental procedures, or ER/high-volume GP
• Ability to work efficiently without constant direction
• Consistent reliability—attendance, performance, and follow-through matter

What Sets You Apart

• You don’t wait to be told what to do—you step in
• You can anticipate doctor and patient needs
• You stay productive even when the schedule isn’t predictable
• You take pride in doing things correctly and efficiently
• You contribute to the team by raising the standard, not lowering it

What This Role Is Not

• Not a place to “grow into” core technical skills
• Not a slow‑paced or highly predictable environment
• Not a position for someone who needs constant supervision

About Eastview

• Walk‑in model with consistent caseload
• Growing focus on surgery, dentistry, and efficiency of care
• Team‑oriented environment with clear expectations
• Actively building stronger systems, training, and clinical standards

Why This Role Matters

We are building a stronger, more efficient hospital—and that requires skilled technicians who can execute at a high level every day.

If you’re an LVT who wants to be relied on, challenged, and part of a team that expects more…this is that opportunity.

Apply

Apply through Indeed with your resume and a brief overview of your clinical and surgical experience. Qualified applicants will receive a follow-up pre‑screening questionnaire to help us better understand technical skill level, leadership experience, and overall fit for our clinic environment.

Selected candidates will then be invited for an in‑person interview and working skills assessment. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate hands‑on technical competency prior to hire, including anesthesia knowledge, patient handling, and general clinical workflow skills.
