Veterinary Technician, Per Diem

Veterinary Technician, Per Diem

At Small Animal Veterinary Emergency Services (SAVES), you're not just supporting care—you're leading it. As one of the only 24/7 emergency hospitals in northern New Hampshire, every shift puts you at the center of life-saving medicine, complex cases, and moments that truly matter. You are the calm in the chaos, the advocate for patients who can't speak, and the reason families get more time with the animals who mean everything to them. We're growing—and looking for the right technicians to grow with us. Located in Lebanon, NH, we serve a broad New Hampshire and Vermont community—making a meaningful impact across the region.
