Relief Veterinary Nurse

Join Truss Vet

Imagine you're being invited to join a team of trailblazers shaping the future of veterinary care. Picture a dynamic, fast-growing organization where innovation and compassion are at the core of everything we do. That's Truss Vet.

In just a few short years, we've gone from an idea to a thriving veterinary urgent care platform, and we're not stopping anytime soon. With five successful clinics and a sixth on the horizon, we're redefining how pets and their people experience care.

At Truss Vet, we're on a mission to elevate the human-animal bond by removing barriers to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. Our urgent care clinics are tailored to pets with non-life-threatening issues that don't belong in the ER but can't wait for a regular vet visit. Think of us as the sweet spot between general practice and emergency care, a place where we deliver exceptional medical outcomes while ensuring a better quality of life for our team.

We're building a trusted bench of exceptional Relief Veterinary Nurses who enjoy flexibility while helping us deliver outstanding patient care when our clinics need an extra set of hands. Whether you're looking for extra hours, interested in urgent care experience, or wanting to learn more about Truss Vet, we're eager to help you find the right opportunity with our team.

Please Note: This posting is intended to build our network of qualified relief veterinary technicians/assistants. While there may not be an immediate opening that matches your availability, we're actively creating a database of experienced candidates to contact as clinics request coverage. When a clinic has a need that matches your experience and availability, we'll be in touch! We'll do our best to respond to everyone as quickly as we can, but with changing clinic needs and application volume, we may not always be able to respond right away.

As a Veterinary Nurse at Truss Vet, you are critical to the functioning and success of our clinic. Your role touches almost every process in the hospital, helping ensure each is executed smoothly for the benefit of our team, clients, and patients. You help set the standard for team well-being by cultivating a fun, work-hard/play-hard team environment and interacting with your coworkers fairly and professionally as they (and you!) deserve to be treated. Your job will help us build one of the best clinics and places to work on earth. No pressure! :)

You're a great fit if:

• Someone would describe you as proactive, detail-oriented, timely, organized, productive, analytical and still a people person! Bonus points if you can move things with your mind!
• You have a growth mindset; you never stop learning, and you're constantly looking for ways to advance yourself, your career, and your team
• You want to work for a company that has a big vision and ambitious plans for growth, and you want to be a part of helping achieve that growth
• You want to make a difference in the world, have an impact on people's lives, and change the future of animal healthcare for the better
• You love working in teams and find that you're able to relate to people of all types (yes, people are gross, but you didn't choose vet med because you love animals and hate people)
• You're willing to "get your hands dirty;" no task is beneath you, you're entrepreneurial
• You provide energy to the people you're around because you're generally a happy, positive, optimistic person (after interacting with you, people feel energized vs. drained)
• You have prior veterinary experience
• You read our core values (below) and they overlap with your personal values

We believe in:

• Excellence in medicine and the highest reasonable standards of care
• Providing our teams the resources to be happy and successful
• That every pet deserves to live its best life (Except for that one chihuahua just kidding!)
• 3-day workweeks
• Going home on time
• No abusive noncompetes
• Building a supportive team that you want to hang out with even on your days off (but we'll never make you)
• Treating people like we want to be treated
• Compensation and benefits that help people live well
• Working hard and pursuing excellence while still having fun
• No boarding, grooming, or on-calls!

Truss Vet Core Values Statements:

• Dare to Care: Doing what is easy isn't always right. Doing what is right isn't always easy. So we show up. We give a sh!t. Even when clients don't deserve our best, even when a conversation is uncomfortable, we approach situations with courage, empathy, and authenticity. "We care enough to have tough conversations and we handle tough conversations with care."
• The Details Matter: Our standards are reflected in every detail, and those details matter. The client will never forget the hug you gave when they said goodbye to their best friend. That blanket may mean the difference between an hour of comfort for a pet versus an hour of fear. The smell or site of a dirty rug may mean the difference between a great first impression versus skepticism of our entire team.
• Truss One Another: To be accountable to the success of the team means we're accountable to the success of each other. We have our teammates' backs. We catch each other's mistakes. We challenge each other to improve and be the best versions of ourselves.
• Bowl Half Full: Your dog doesn't go through life believing his bowl is half-empty. We see the good in others and in each other, we see opportunities in challenges, we meet discomfort with good humor, and when we find closed doors, we kick them open or make new ones.
