Bring your skills. Make a difference. Love what you do.

We’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dependable Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) to join our team. We want someone who takes pride in excellent patient care, communicates well with clients and coworkers, and genuinely enjoys being part of a veterinary team.

If you’re looking for a practice where your knowledge, experience, and technical skills are valued, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

As an experienced RVT, you’ll play an essential role in both patient care and the overall success of our veterinary team. Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing compassionate nursing care to hospitalized and outpatient patients
• Performing venipuncture and placing IV catheters
• Collecting and processing laboratory samples
• Administering medications, injections, and treatments as directed by the veterinarian
• Preparing patients for surgical and dental procedures

• Working closely with veterinarians, assistants, receptionists, and fellow technicians to keep patient care running smoothly

Our ideal candidate is someone who is confident in their technical abilities but never loses sight of the reason we do this work: the animals and the people who love them.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are a Registered Veterinary Technician in good standing
• Have previous veterinary technician experience
• Are comfortable with anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, radiology, laboratory procedures, and patient nursing
• Can confidently handle dogs and cats using compassionate, appropriate restraint techniques

• Work well independently while also being a supportive team member
• Bring a positive, solutions-oriented attitude to work
• Believe every patient deserves kindness, patience, and excellent care

Why You’ll Want to Work with Us

Great veterinary medicine takes a great team—and great technicians deserve to feel appreciated for the expertise they bring to that team.

We strive to create a workplace where employees are respected, supported, and encouraged to use their skills to their fullest potential.

The Person Behind the Scrubs Matters, too.

We know veterinary medicine can be demanding. That’s why we’re not simply looking for someone who can place a catheter, monitor anesthesia, or take a great radiograph.

We’re looking for a teammate.

Someone who celebrates a nervous patient’s small victory. Someone who understands how much a reassuring conversation can mean to a worried pet owner. Someone who jumps in when a coworker needs help—and knows their team will do the same for them.

If you’re an experienced RVT looking for a place where you can use your skills, continue growing, and make a meaningful difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.

Ready for your next chapter?

We can’t wait to learn more about you—and the experience, compassion, and personality you’ll bring to our practice.
