Who we are:
LaVale Veterinary Hospital has been a trusted name in Western Maryland since 1985, and we're still growing strong. With over 9,000 sq ft of space and a team trained in both general practice and after-hours urgent care , we offer around-the-clock support to pets and their people—no matter the need, no matter the hour. We're proud to be an AAHA-accredited hospital with a high-performing, close-knit team of seasoned techs, assistants, and DVMs. Our facility features advanced diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, chemotherapy, digital radiology, and therapeutic laser —all housed in a welcoming, modern space designed for both team comfort and excellent patient care.

Right now, we’re looking for a Veterinary Technician + an experienced Veterinary Assistant to join our overnight crew —someone cool under pressure, confident in their skills, and ready to be the calm in the middle of the clinical storm.

The Perks, The People, The Purpose:

• Progressive + Personal: We deliver high-quality medicine with heart—supporting patients and clients during even the most challenging times.
• High-Performing & Close-Knit: You’ll join a seasoned, collaborative crew that works hard, supports one another, and has a little fun along the way.
• Well-Trained, Well-Loved: We’re proud of our long-tenured team and hands-on mentorship culture. If you’re eager to grow, you’re in good company.
• Mission-Driven: From puppy vaccines to critical emergencies, we treat every patient as if they’re our own.

What You Bring to the Table:

• A Veterinary Technician with at least 2 years of hands-on experience in a clinical setting, preferably in emergency/urgent care.
• Confidence in triage, IV catheter placement, phlebotomy, radiology, anesthesia, and critical patient monitoring - these are must have skills.
• Able to work independently overnight —while still being part of a connected and collaborative team
• Able to triage cases over the phone , communicate effectively with clients, and handle emotionally intense situations
• A calm, capable, compassionate demeanor (with a sense of humor never hurting either)
• You bring strong technical skills and confidence

Your Role in the Pack:

• Provide thoughtful, hands-on care to overnight inpatients and emergencies
• Perform radiographs, support surgeries, place IV catheters, draw blood, and assist in other clinical treatment
• Triage incoming emergencies and communicate with clients effectively and compassionately
• Maintain a clean, calm, organized treatment space (even at 3 a.m.)
• Communicate clearly with clients and team members about patient status, financial estimates, and treatment plans
• Keep detailed records and follow established medical protocols
• Serve as the eyes and ears of the hospital overnight, ensuring seamless care continues into morning rounds
