Job description

Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.

The Opportunity: We’re looking for extraordinary Relief Veterinary Technicians to join our team. We believe the role of a conventional nurse has not realized its full potential in any GP or urgent-care clinical environment, and it is our mission to bring this role to the modern day. Here at Bond Vet, our veterinary technicians use their medical knowledge and clinical skills to provide routine and urgent care every day. You’ll participate in surgery and dental procedures, run your own appointments with assistants, and educate the pet parents who walk in our door.

As a Relief Technician you'll support our team by filling in on a regular basis. You'll be compensated at a competitive rate and work alongside a dedicated, supportive and collaborative team.

What You'll Do:

• Focus on patient care; with support from our veterinary assistants and remote nurse team you'll be able to concentrate on the patients in front of you. These will include but not be limited to:
• Patient Handling and Husbandry
• Surgical/dental nursing and anesthesia management
• Detailed record keeping
• Medication administration
• Emergency triage and response
• Work alongside veterinarians and nurses from all corners of our industry, pushing the boundaries of veterinary medicine and providing top-quality patient care, supporting communities across your region.
• Supported by our Medical leadership team, attend monthly educational events and activities to help grow your knowledge and develop your career.
• On-staff specialists will help you navigate new cases and realms of medicine.
• Use innovative technologies, new medical equipment, and more as you pilot clinic tools that have not yet broken into the mainstream.
• Embrace the future of AI-assisted technologies, enabling you to focus on the care you deliver.

You Have:

• 2+ years experience as a veterinary technician.
• A veterinary technician certification or licensure (CVT, RVT, LVT, or LVMT) required.

Pay Range $29-$31/hour Depending on Experience

Employment with Bond Vet is contingent upon the Company's completion of a satisfactory investigation of your background.
