Our mission is to serve pets and people by continually pushing to improve our medicine, our service, our communication, and ourselves.

Why PESCM: We are not your typical veterinary hospital.
PESCM is run by managers who have been with the hospital for a decade or more, all promoted from within. We are former nurses and client service staff who understand what employees need, because we’ve been there ourselves: predictable schedules, regular time off, competitive pay, generous benefits, and a nurturing yet professional environment that fosters your growth and success. We know the winning recipe is making a space for you to do good work and be part of the special kind of team unique to veterinary medicine, where the only way to combat compassion fatigue is to take care of each another.

In addition to veterinary technician skills such as patient restraint, administering medications, IV catheter placement, and phlebotomy, technicians in the Emergency department will be responsible for the following:

• Set up CRIs and calculate medical math

• Assist in surgeries and other sedated procedures
• Maintain accurate treatment sheets
• Take radiographs (out of the room!) and obtain and prepare various blood samples for diagnostic testing
• Use of mechanical ventilators for anesthesia
• Provide client education on a wide range of at home care

About You:

• RVT preferred but 2 years’ experience minimum necessary
• Comprehensive understanding and experience with anesthetic monitoring
• Proficiency in processing basic laboratory specimens
• Working knowledge of anatomy and physiology
• Understanding of normal vs abnormal physiologic ranges
• Ability to work in a highly collaborative environment and commitment to develop long-term relationships with colleagues, clients, and community
• Positive outlook and ability to work well in a collaborative environment.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills are required, and the ability to deliver exceptional client service is expected.
• Honesty, integrity, and a desire to learn and have fun!

Benefits of working with us:
We offer desirable alternative work schedules, a competitive bay area wage and comprehensive benefits plan to include medical/dental, 401k, paid time off, scrub allowance, generous Pet Benefit Plan, Continued Education opportunities, and Commuter benefit, as most of our staff travel from outside of Marin County, often passing other specialty practices!

Salary: $28.00 - $34.00 per hour, plus a $2.00/hr weekend differential
