Veterinary Technician (Casual Position)

Galaxy Vets Technician Role

This is not a traditional technician role. We are hiring technicians who want to practice at the top of their scope in a fast-paced urgent care environment.

At Galaxy Vets, technicians are clinical leaders, not assistants to assistants. You are a medical decision-support partner to the DVM and a driver of patient care standards.

If you're looking for a place where your skills are underutilized, this isn't it. If you want autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to help build a sustainable veterinary business, then keep reading.

What Makes This Role Different

Each shift, you are a key clinical pillar.

You:

• Lead anesthesia and patient monitoring
• Perform venipuncture and place IV catheters confidently
• Initiate and manage fluid therapy
• Execute radiology safely and efficiently
• Monitor hospitalized patients and escalate concerns
• Educate clients clearly and compassionately
• Support surgical flow and sterile technique
• Help refine clinical processes and standards

You are empowered to practice to the full extent of your training and registration.

• Experienced veterinary technicians

• Confidence in urgent or high-pressure situations

• Evening/weekend/holiday availability required (we believe in fair rotation)
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and work in a clinical environment, including bending, standing, stooping, kneeling, moving from room to room, and sitting; may be required to walk or stand for extended periods of time

Most importantly: someone who believes their role impacts the success of the entire hospital.
