Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) — Downtown Vancouver
Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital | Full-Time | $25–$36/hrYou didn’t become an RVT to run on autopilot.You became an RVT because you love the medicine, the patients, and the moment when a worried owner finally understands what’s happening with their pet. But too many clinics treat technicians like support staff instead of the skilled clinicians they are.We don’t.At Vancouver Downtown Pet Hospital, RVTs practice at the top of their license every single day. You’ll work cases, not just clean cages. You’ll make clinical decisions, not just follow orders. And you’ll do it with a team that actually has your back.What Makes This Different1. Medicine You Can Be Proud Of
This is a fast-paced downtown practice where you’ll see interesting, varied cases and use equipment that lets you do your best work:
- Smart Digital HD Radiography
- Advanced patient monitoring (Doppler, pulse oximetry)
- Full in-house laboratory for rapid diagnostics
- Fully paperless EMR system
You’ll be trusted to run anesthesia, interpret diagnostics, and manage complex cases—not just hold animals and pass instruments.2. A Team That Shows Up for Each Other

And when you’re having a tough day (because this job is hard, and some days are tough), your teammates will actually check in on you.We’re serious about sustainability in vet med. That means reasonable caseloads, protected break times, and a culture where asking for help is expected—not embarrassing.3. Growth That’s Actually Planned
