Registered Veterinary Technician

Registered Veterinary Technician

For the technician who still gets excited about learning something new. One day you're helping a puppy through its first visit. The next you're monitoring anesthesia during surgery, working a dental, running diagnostics, or caring for a rabbit or ferret. At Northfield Veterinary Hospital, our Registered Veterinary Technicians don't just assist. They're trusted, fully utilized, and encouraged to keep growing. We're hiring a full-time Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) to join our team.

For more than 50 years, we've cared for pets in Northfield and the greater Cleveland area, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and other small exotics. With two dental tables, a dedicated surgical suite, and a therapy laser, there's real room to grow in dentistry, anesthesia, and surgery, whether you're already confident or still building those skills. We believe credentialed technicians should use the skills they worked hard to earn, so you'll play an active role in patient care every day. Every morning starts with a team huddle, because good medicine starts with good communication. We have a small-town feel, and Cleveland's restaurants, sports, entertainment, and outdoor adventures are close by.
