Registered Veterinary Technician

Join North Elm Animal Hospital

Trusted to lead. Empowered to practice at the top of your license.

At North Elm Animal Hospital, we do things differently. We're a technician-forward, medically autonomous hospital that truly believes in the power of a strong tech team. Our doctors trust our technicians, and empower them to work at the top of their license, and then some. We're looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician who's ready to lead the charge, think critically, and take initiative.

In this role, you won't be stuck in the back doing basic restraint. You'll be in the heart of the action:

• Assisting in surgical procedures, controlled drugs, dentistry, x-rays, and monitoring anesthesia
• Leading by example to mentor and train junior staff
• Participating in patient care planning, and supporting diagnostics and treatments
• Maintaining accurate veterinary medical records and client communication

What we're looking for:

• A Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with strong surgical and leadership experience
• Skilled in patient care, communication, and teamwork
• Highly organized, dependable, and compassionate
• Ready to be part of a community-focused veterinary hospital where every shift looks a little different

Schedule:

• Day shift, 8-hour shifts
• Rotating weekends
• No holiday shifts required
• 1-2 years of experience preferred

Compensation:

$20.00 to $24.00 per hour. Final compensation will be determined commensurate with experience.

Why join North Elm Animal Hospital?

Our techs are trusted professionals here, not micromanaged. You'll have a voice in hospital decisions and medical protocols, and we actually listen. We're a kind, collaborative team that supports each other, celebrates wins, and shows up with respect every day. We're certified Cat Friendly by the American Association of Feline Practitioners, and our doctors work alongside local specialists and the NC State Veterinary School to keep patient care at a high standard. From wellness care and diagnostics to surgery and dentistry, you'll put your skills to work and keep learning every shift.

What's in it for you?

• Competitive pay, based on experience
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Free virtual mental healthcare for household (13+)
• Generous CE allowance + paid CE time
• Uniform allowance
• Pet care discounts for your personal pets
• PTO, floating holidays, parental leave, and military leave
• A robust Employee Assistance Program (from finances to wellness and everything in between)
• Access to Encore Vet Group's library of training, CE, and career development resources
• A 401(k) with up to 5% company match
