Your veterinary expertise deserves a healthier balance.

VetCheck Urgent Care Center is seeking experienced Veterinary Technician to join our growing team on a part time basis. If you enjoy the fast pace of emergency medicine but want to avoid overnight shifts, this is the ideal opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Prior veterinary nursing/technician experience is required.
• A team-oriented professional with strong communication and client education skills.
• Quickly evaluate incoming patients, gather histories, and prioritize based on urgency.
• Assist veterinarians with examinations, diagnostics, and emergency procedures.
• Administer medications, fluids, vaccines, and treatments as directed.
• Perform wound care, bandaging, catheter placement, and monitoring of anesthesia.
• Collect and prepare lab samples (blood, urine, feces, cytology, etc.).
• Operate and maintain diagnostic equipment such as radiology, ultrasound, and in-house lab machines.
• Prepare patients and surgical suites for procedures.
• Monitor anesthesia and post-operative recovery.
• Provide intensive care support for critical patients, including continuous monitoring of vitals.
• Clearly explain treatment plans, discharge instructions, and medication administration to pet owners.

• Participate in training, mentoring, and cross-training of team members as needed.
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of exam rooms, treatment areas, and surgical suites.
• Assist with inventory management and proper handling of medications and supplies.

Important to Note: This position requires flexibility to work a mix of days, evenings, weekends, and holidays to ensure the clinic is appropriately staffed and our patients receive the care they need. We value work-life balance and post schedules several weeks in advance to allow for proper planning.

• It's not our job to take care of pets, it is our responsibility.
• Our staff is highly engaged, collaborative, and maintains a positive attitude. We work together to find solutions and make decisions based off what's best for each other and the hospital. A majority of our staff has been with VetCheck since the very beginning!
