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

• 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.
