Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital is looking for full-time RVTs to join our Emergency & ICU teams!

This role works closely with our ER DVMs and board-certified specialists, including two boarded criticalists, in a fast-paced, stimulating, world-class medical environment. If you already have your VTS in Emergency and Critical Care, or if you dream of one day achieving your VTS, this is where you want to be: among specialists who literally wrote the books on Veterinary Medicine and the RECOVER initiative, as well as our anesthesia-focused RVT and board-certified anesthesiologist. We are a supportive, collaborative, hands-on teaching facility for anyone wanting to grow their skills.

Successful candidates will display strong leadership, a desire to grow their skills, a positive teamwork-type attitude and a personality that can deliver exceptional customer service and communication skills.

This position requires flexibility to work on a rotating schedule; however, it also affords a great work-life balance on beautiful Vancouver Island! If you dream of living in a mild climate with non-stop opportunities for hiking, biking and nature viewing from your backyard, this is the place to be!

New grads are welcome to apply and will benefit from a teaching environment that includes mentorship from experienced RVTs and advanced learning opportunities.

Completion of a Veterinary Technician or Animal Health Technician program, with eligibility for registration in the applicable province.
Experience in a veterinary hospital or clinical setting is an asset.
Strong knowledge of patient care, anesthesia, pharmacology, and clinical procedures.
Strong technical skills, including venipuncture, IV catheter placement, anesthesia monitoring, laboratory procedures, and patient assessment.
Ability to safely handle and restrain animals using appropriate techniques.
Excellent communication, organizational and interpersonal skills.
Compassionate, patient-focused approach to animal care.
Commitment to continuing education and ongoing professional development.
Ability to adapt to changing priorities and schedules.

What We Can Offer You

Competitive compensation that reflects your skills, experience, and the role.
RRSP Employer Group Match Program (5%) to help you save for the future.
Paid time off for continuing education, vacation, sick days, and personal wellness days.
Annual CE Allowance.
Benefits: Minimum 24 hours per week for eligibility, with flexible options.
