Job description

Veterinary Technician – Urgent Care/Primary Care – Denver, CO

Are you a skilled CVT/RVT/LVT in Colorado looking for a rewarding job where you’re valued, supported, and never stuck in a rut? Tired of late-night ER shifts or routine clinics that stunt your growth? Join Sploot Veterinary Care in Denver and discover a better way to do what you love!

Who We Are:
Sploot Veterinary Care is a new kind of veterinary clinic, blending Urgent Care and General Practice to provide pets with high-quality care when they need it. We were founded by compassionate individuals who wanted torewrite the rules of vet med – prioritizing our team’s well-being as much as our patients’. Our Denver clinics are tech-forward and innovative (we use tools like CoVET AI Scribe for medical notes and offer laparoscopic surgery as a modern, non-invasive surgery option), and our culture is all about collaboration, learning, and fun. We’re building the future of vet care, and we want you to be a part of it!

Why You’ll Love Working at Sploot:

• Diverse Caseload (Urgent + Primary): Boredom? Not here. You’ll handle everything from vaccines and puppy checks to stabilizing minor emergencies. One day it’s a routine dental cleaning, the next you’re assisting in surgery on a swallowed sock. You’ll learn every day and use the full range of your skills, becoming the best tech you can be.
• No Overnights or On-Call – Ever: We’re open 8am-8pm, 7 days/week, but we don’t do overnights. Enjoy predictable 4-day work weeks. No more 2 AM phone calls, no swing shifts ending at midnight. Your evenings are yours – go home for dinner, recharge, and actually have a life outside work!
• Team & Culture: Work in a clinic where everyone has your back. We maintain a high staff-to-doctor ratio so you’re never overwhelmed. Our team is positive, supportive, and actually likes coming to work. Expect collaborative medicine where your input is valued in patient care. We regularly celebrate wins, grab coffee together, and yes, we stock endless snacks in the break room to keep you fueled.
• Purpose & Impact: At Sploot, you’re not just performing tasks – you’re making a difference. Our mission is to make vet care better for pets and for vet professionals. Every treatment you assist, every client you comfort, contributes to a larger purpose of setting a new standard in veterinary medicine. You’ll feel that pride and purpose every day, knowing your work truly matters (and we’ll remind you, with plenty of “thank you’s” and appreciation along the way).

Day in the Life (Job Duties):As a Sploot Veterinary Technician, each day will be dynamic and fulfilling. You will:

• Partner with our Veterinarians to deliver top-notch care – from prepping patients for surgery, monitoring anesthesia, to performing treatments and diagnostics. You’re the doctor’s trusted right hand.
• Provide Compassionate Client Care – educate and reassure pet parents during what can be stressful moments. You’ll explain treatments and home care instructions, making sure our clients feel supported and heard.
• Perform Lab & Technical Skills – collect blood, run lab tests, place IV catheters, take radiographs (including dental x-rays), administer medications and vaccines, and even assist in suturing and wound care.
• Maintain Organized Workflow – help keep our clinic running smoothly by maintaining accurate digital medical records (with help from our AI scribe), restocking supplies, and ensuring equipment is cleaned/sterilized. A tidy clinic is a happy clinic for team, pets, and owners alike.
• Be a Culture Champion – we have core values like Accountability, Teamwork, and Solution-Focus. You embody these by communicating openly, having a can-do attitude, and supporting your colleagues. You’ll mentor assistants and help foster the positive environment that makes Sploot special.

What We’re Looking For (Qualifications):

• Credentialed Vet Tech in Colorado: You’re a Certified/Registered/Licensed Veterinary Technician (CVT, RVT, LVT) with a current Colorado license (or eligibility). This is a must – we value the expertise that comes with your credentials.
• Experience: At least 1 year of clinical vet tech experience. Emergency/urgent care experience is a huge plus, but not required – if you’re eager to learn urgent care skills, we’ll teach you.
• Team Player Attitude: You thrive in a team setting, communicate well, and are willing to jump in wherever needed. Our clinic motto is “no ego – all care.” We want someone who lifts others up and enjoys a collaborative workflow.
• Efficient & Proactive: You have an eye for improving processes and you’re organized in a sometimes-hectic environment. You can juggle multiple tasks (with help from the team) and still pay attention to the details that matter (like accurate record-keeping and medication dosing).
• Compassion & Passion: You love what you do and it shows. You handle pets with gentle care, treat clients with respect, and you’re driven by the desire to make things better – for the pet in front of you and for the field of vet medicine as a whole. If you’re the kind of person who got into this profession to help animals and continually grow, you’ll fit right in at Sploot.

(Bonus: If you have experience in emergency/critical care, dentistry, anesthesia, or any advanced skills, let us know! We love utilizing our team’s special talents.)

Compensation & Benefits:
We believe great work deserves great compensation. Sploot offers:

• Competitive Pay: $26–$29/hour, plus 1.5x pay on Sploot-recognized holidays.
• 401(k) Retirement: Company match to support your future.
• Healthcare: Health, Dental, and Vision with a generous employer contribution; HSA available.
• PTO & Parental Leave: 80 hours of PTO (increasing with tenure) and 10 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Licensure & CE: Full reimbursement for Colorado technician licensure and up to 10 hours of CE annually.
• Free Scrubs & Snacks: Sploot-branded FIGS scrubs, unlimited snacks, and regular team events.
• Pet Care Perks: Generous benefits for your own fur babies.
• Note: Benefits may vary based on experience or qualifications.
