Credentialed Veterinary Technician - CityPaws Animal Hospital

Veterinary Technician

Love surgery? Looking for variety? This role gives you both.

Some technicians are happiest when every day looks the same. Others are energized by variety, fast-paced medicine, and the opportunity to be part of complex surgical cases. If that's you, keep reading.

At CityPaws Animal Hospital, you'll support both our 14th street and uptown hospitals, giving you exposure to a broader range of doctors, patients, procedures, and experiences than you would find in a traditional-single location role.

You'll be an important part of a team that performs surgery regularly, making this an excellent opportunity for a credentialed veterinary technician who enjoys anesthesia, patient monitoring, surgical support, and hands-on medicine.

Why you'll love us:

• Big city medicine: Practice in one of the nation's most vibrant veterinary communities while caring for a diverse patient population.
• A team that shows up for each other: We work hard, communicate openly, and support one another through busy days and challenging cases.
• Room to grow: We invest in continuing education, professional development, and helping our technicians build long-term careers.

It's not just about what we doit's how we do it. We believe in relationships, not transactions. In teamwork over ego. In curiosity, learning, and leveling up together.

What you'll be doing:

• Assist with surgical procedures
• Monitor anesthesia and patient recovery
• Perform dental cleanings and treatments
• Support diagnostics and treatments
• Place IV catheters and collect samples
• Maintain medical records
• Educate clients
• Deliver exceptional patient care

You're a great fit if you...

• A credentialed veterinary technician (CVT, LVT, or RVT) who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
• Experienced in anesthesia monitoring, diagnostics, and clinical procedures
• Passionate about building relationships with clients and pets alike
• A dependable team player who communicates clearly and supports others
• Eager to continue learning and growing in your veterinary care

The pay range for this position is $26-$34/hr based on skills and experience.
