Cerro Alto Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital is a privately owned, non-corporate specialty and emergency hospital built around collaboration, growth, and doing high-level medicine the right way.

We are seeking an Oncology Veterinary Technician who is excited to be part of a team-first environment , contribute to advanced patient care, and continue developing their skill set alongside specialists in a supportive and fast-growing hospital.

This is an ideal role for someone who values autonomy, learning, and meaningful involvement in patient care , rather than a task-based, corporate workflow.

• Non-corporate, veterinarian-led hospital — decisions are made locally, by clinicians who are in the building
• Highly collaborative environment — work directly with surgery, internal medicine, ER, radiology, and oncology
• Growth-focused culture — we actively invest in training, mentorship, and skill development
• Hands-on medicine — technicians are trusted and empowered to fully utilize their training
• Advanced case exposure — complex oncology cases with access to cutting-edge diagnostics and treatments

• Assist in the safe administration of chemotherapy and targeted therapies
• Monitor patients closely for treatment response and adverse effects
• Provide high-quality nursing care, including pain management and supportive care
• Maintain detailed and accurate medical records

• Perform venipuncture, IV catheter placement, and sample collection
• Assist with diagnostic procedures and imaging preparation
• Prepare and administer medications, including chemotherapy and CRIs
• Follow strict protocols for handling hazardous drugs and maintaining safety standards

• Educate clients on treatment plans, expectations, and potential side effects
• Provide clear, compassionate discharge instructions and follow-up guidance
• Support clients through complex and emotional decision-making processes

• Work closely with oncologists and other specialty services to coordinate care
• Contribute to a positive, team-oriented hospital culture
• Assist in maintaining efficient patient flow and case management

We’re building something intentional here—
a hospital where people enjoy coming to work, where technicians are valued for their expertise, and where patient care benefits from true collaboration across services.

If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, be challenged, and be part of a genuinely supportive team , we’d love to connect.

• RVT/LVT/CVT preferred
• Experience in oncology, internal medicine, or ER strongly preferred
• Strong technical skill set and attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills and a team-first mindset

At Cerro Alto, we view this role as more than a job—it’s a career path .

• Ongoing mentorship from board-certified specialists
• Exposure to advanced procedures and evolving oncology therapies
• Opportunities to expand technical responsibilities over time
• Encouragement and support for continuing education and skill advancement

• Fast-paced, specialty referral hospital with a high-acuity caseload
• Collaborative, respectful, and supportive team culture
• Physically active role with hands-on patient care

This is a full time role, mostly during days. We work 10 hour shifts and full time requires committing to 3-4 shifts per week. We are a 7/24 hospital that never closes so we ask all of our team members to be able to work nights, weekends and holidays as needed.
